Randall Akee, associate professor, Department of Public Policy and American Indian Studies, University of California, Los Angeles:
Inalienable Properties pushes the field of Indigenous studies in a new direction. It applies the innovative lens of game theory to explore critical issues such as Indigenous membership and citizenship reforms, business development and investment decisions, and the adoption of political term limits and checks on power. The rest of the field will need to catch up.
