Abstract: The Indian nations of the United States face a rare opportunity.This is not the occasional business opportunity of reservation legend, when some eager investor would arrive at tribal offices with a proposal "guaranteed" to produce millions of dollars for the tribe-although such investors still appear, promises in hand.Nor is it the niche economic opportunity of gaming, although that has transformed some tribes' situations in important ways.This opportunity is a political and organizational one.It is a chance to rethink, restructure, reorganize-a chance not to start a business or exploit an economic niche but to substantially reshape the future.It is the opportunity for nationbuilding.
