Torivio A. Fodder, a University of Arizona SJD student, has posted his dissertation, “A Libertarian Framework for Indian Rights,” on SSRN.Download here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2089533.
Here is the abstract:
This dissertation outlines a new vision for Indian rights, drawing from the fields of libertarian political philosophy and critical race legal theory. The goal is to develop a framework for federal Indian policy that provides for a true realization of tribal self-determinaion, that maximizes the liberty interests of American Indians, and that promotes lasting economic development in Indian Country.

Reblogged this on Tory Fodder and commented:
This site is long overdue for an update. For now, I’m pleased to share a post about my work from the Indian Law blog Turtle Talk run by Prof. Matthew Fletcher at Michigan State University Law School.
Prof. Fletcher’s website posted a link to my SSRN profile and provided the abstract of my dissertation to the Turtle Talk community.
Many thanks to Turtle Talk! Looking forward to having new conversations with friends and colleagues about the libertarian framework for Indian rights.
ORIGINAL & THOUGHT-PROVOKING — THANKS FOR POSTING
“Innovation” is a current buzz-word. This brilliantly original dissertation meets that criteria. To those mired in the past who would criticize new, innovative paths — what are the alternatives? To paraphrase M. Scott Peck, M.D. — authentic change is hard, really hard. As Lao Tze said, the journey of 1,000 miles starts with the first step. This is such a first step.
Well done, Dr. Fodder.
