In The Third Space of Sovereignty: The Postcolonial Politics of U.S., Kevin Bruyneel provides an insight of why treaty-making ended in 1871 and what was its significance, what were the responses of indigenous people to prospects of American citizenship in the 19th century, and how the current issues are associated with casinos and the gaming industry. According to Bruyneel, native politicians have played a significant role in strengthening the economy of the United States, and indigenous people have been given full freedom to define their identities as per their requirements and on their own terms.
Jolene Rickard has dedicated Sovereignty: A Line in the Sand to the protection of indigenous culture and their identities in the United States. There have had been various identity issues, and this text defines how those issues can be resolved. A line needs to be drawn between native culture and non-native culture, and everyone should be free to do what he loves the most. To an extent, Jolene Rickard’s work is related to that of Kevin Bruyneel’s book because both of them urge to give full cultural, traditional and religious freedom to indigenous people.
