Brooks, School for Advanced Research, Santa Fe "The book is magnificent in its subjects, approaches, methodologies, and analyses."-Clifford Trafzer, University of California Riverside "Defying the Odds transcends any comparable case study of an Indian nation in the depth of its historical and legal analysis."-Rebecca Tsosie, University of New Mexico
