Answer by e-mail to jcurran@csudh.edu
Subject: cjexercise 5 - stereotypes and sovereignty
Be sure to include your name and class!
Try to answer in 25 words or so. Make each answer integral, so that I can read it without reference to the exercise or the question itself.

1. Major stereotypes for which new forum to refute them sought:

   • "the drunk Indian" - concept that Indians cannot tolerate alcohol - no scientific evidence for this
   • "the casino rich Indian" - only five tribes of 550 making money on gaming
   • "the noble savage" - simplistic and patronizing
   • "the savage" - justified the killing

   Will put up more detail tomorrow.

2. tribal sovereignty - how it relates to sovereignty - what it means in current patterns of government
