Abstract

With the transition of power to George W. Bush, what can Native America expect from this new president? Some of his comments have ignited anger and fear concerning his views on the sovereignty of Indian Nations. Indeed, many groups are organizing protests of his inauguration day. But how can Indian leaders work with the new administration? And who will be the next Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs, arguably the most powerful position in Indian Country? Guests include Joanne Chase, Executive Director of the National Congress of American Indians.
