Bruyneel, Kevin
Politics on the boundaries as a practice and third space of sovereignty as a pursuit frame a logic of indigenous politics developed through post-colonial analysis- The post-colonial premises of this logic are defined and applied in this article through an examination of indigenous political claims and activities from different historical moments. These forms of indigenous politics articulate diverse and yet similarly woven strands of the logic of politics on the boundaries. Implicated in any logic of indigenous politics in the U.S. context is the effort to affect a more politically resonant understanding of how American political identity has been constructed through a symbolic and material relationship to indigenous people. As such, this logic can and is turned around to shed light on the tensions inherent to American politics. Finally, the article closes by demonstrating how politics on the boundaries clarifies the terms of the pro-casino arguments of California-based tribes during the Proposition 5 campaign in 1998.

Haggard, Dixie Ray
Too often, what passes as Native American history does not provide the indigenous perspective, but rather focuses on Indian-white relations. This essay argues for a theoretical and methodological approach that requires the reconstruction of past indigenous societies to be used as models to interpret history from the native point of view. The example used here involves the reconstruction of Cherokee and Muscogulge societies by examining the center of their socio-political systems, the clan. By discussing the historiography of material written about their clan systems and how this material can be used to develop Cherokee and Muscogulge perspectives, this discourse demonstrates the insights that can be learned by internalizing Native American history.
