For more than a decade scholars have debated the question of whether American Indian confederacies, primarily the Iroquois, helped influence the formation of U.S. basic law. The idea has sparked lively debate in the public arena as well, with Canadian diplomat Durling Voyce-Jones contending it shows a paradigm shift in our thinking, Patrick Buchanan calling it idiocy, and George Will saying it's fiction. For the first time, this bibliography brings together some 450 citations on the debate. The work describes the debate in the words of one of its major participants, Bruce E. Johansen, author of three other books on the subject.
BRUCE E. JOHANSEN is Professor of Communication and Native American Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He has been a participant in the debate over Native American precendents for democracy for 20 years, completing his Ph.D. dissertation on the topic in 1979. He is the author of Forgotten Founders: Benjamin Franklin, the Iroquois and the Rationale for the American Revolution (1982), coauthor of Exemplar of Liberty: Native America and the Evolution of Democracy (1991), and author of Debating Democracy: The Native American Role (forthcoming, 1996).
