Since at least the Declaration of Independence, where American colonists condemned the British for enabling “merciless Indian savages” to undermine colonial interests, American Indian law and policy has been driven by Indian-hating. Indian-hating dominates the philosophical foundations of anti-American Indian rhetoric that too often drives Indian law and policy. Traditional Anishinaabe (Odawa, Ojibwe, Bodewadmi) stories or teachings, known as Aadizookaanaan, that helps to reorient law and policy from an Indian perspective.
