The most recent "Community Reinvestment" newsletter (Winter, 1997) of the Community Affairs Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City deals with sovereignty and economic development." This provides general background on sovereignty, specific discusssion of the historic and contemporary use of sovereignty (at various levels) as an economic development tool, and specific application to economic development of communities within the Indian Nations that are part of the FRBKC's geographic area (particularly New Mexico, etc.). This should be a useful resource to those on either side of discussionns, on this list, of various issues involving sovereignty and job creation, including the MAI, etc..
