The ideas and arguments that make up the system of ideas called "federal Indian law" were mentally fabricated by Christian European men in the past who called themselves "white."
Vine Deloria Jr. said "before the white man can relate to others he must forego the pleasure of defining them." I think Vine was talking about the metaphysical process of projection, by which people attribute to others what is in their own minds.
When people "believe" metaphysical projections of domination, the "believing" then becomes a process of internalizing domination which is part of the process in the digestive track of colonization and believing in it's legal fictions. There is Natural Lore and man-made laws.
Creation, Creationing, created human beings and All Life with the gift of creation's beautiful, imperishable, quantum physics of relational intelligence. Mitakuye Oyas'in
good to show the importance of 'metaphysics' .... a word many (most?) people have no idea about... and therefore they wander in their efforts to comprehend ...
Worthy of contemplation... then seeing how to apply. Also, "dominators’ mental claim of a right of domination..." reads like Orwell 1498 (not exact date but you get the numerical riff).

Nicely said, April, and i found your last little paragraph centering and energizing, befitting of the ongoing "imperishable".
