So long as we possess one element of sovereignty, so long as we possess one parcel of land, North America will come for us, and the question we have to face is how badly we wish to continue to pursue the concepts of sovereignty and self-determination. It shows us that there is little shelter and little gain for Native peoples in doing nothing. If nothing else, an examination of the past-and of the present, for that matter-can be instructive. Perhaps it is unfair to judge the past by the present, but it is also necessary. The problem was and continues to be unexamined confidence in western civilization and the unwarranted certainty of Christianity.
