Hi Elizabeth. I really loved how you defined sovereignty out of the gate, especially after all of our discussions about the nuances that surround it. It did a great job setting the stage for all the information you delivered. You also do a great job of talking about and summarizing the issues facing native people and explaining why. Thanks for sharing.
Starting the video with the definitions and questions is super impactful. I can not believe there is a whole section of the Maine constitution that is allowed to be left out. Great job putting so much important information together.
Hi Elizabeth!
I thought that the point you brought up at the beginning about asking whether everyone is able to act upon their sovereignty in our country is extremely important and well. Tribal sovereignty has been such a big part of this course, and it’s honestly crazy how unfairly written words can completely take away someone’s rights. Similarly with what you said about the misconception of Native People giving up their self-governance, I think this shows how easily the narrative can be switched in favor of one group/dominant party. I thought you did a good job describing the different bills and legislative documents as well!

I like how you focused on sovereignty for your story, it is a difficult issue and hard to put your finger on considering different paradigms about sovereignty of the natives vs. the colonist.
