Claiming Turtle Mountain's Constitution

The History, Legacy, and Future of a Tribal Nation's Founding Documents

By: Keith Richotte Jr.

In an auditorium in Belcourt, North Dakota, on a chilly October day in 1932, Robert Bruce and his fellow tribal citizens held the political fate of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians in their hands. Bruce, and the others, had been asked to adopt a tribal constitution, but he was unhappy with the document, as it limited tribal governmental authority. However, white authorities told the tribal nation that the proposed constitution was a necessary step in bringing a lawsuit against the federal government over a long-standing land dispute. Bruce's choice, and the choice of his fellow citizens, has shaped tribal governance on the reservation ever since that fateful day. In this book, Keith Richotte Jr. offers a critical examination of one tribal nation's decision to adopt a constitution. By asking why the citizens of Turtle Mountain voted to adopt the document despite perceived flaws, he confronts assumptions about how tribal constitutions came to be, reexamines the status of tribal governments in the present, and offers a fresh set of questions as we look to the future of governance in Native America and beyond.

My Least Favorite Team is My Favorite Team

By: Keith Richotte

If you're a Minnesota Vikings fan, chances are you know the true meaning of a love/hate relationship. Keith Richotte, lifelong fan and observer of his favorite team, has written an account of many of the major crushing defeats and blunders in the history of the Vikings--the ones maddeningly ingrained in the collective consciousness of Minnesota pro football fans. There are so many of these ugly moments, in fact, that Richotte was able to find a reason to hate every team in professional football for what that team has done to the Vikings as a franchise and to him as a fan. This book chronicles many, many incidences that have dictated the Monday morning moods of people across the land of 10,000 lakes for decades. Either we're a cheery lot saying hi to strangers, or a bunch of gray-faced commuters driving around in a foggy slump. It's not enough to turn away and not notice what's going on. It's an addiction. We can't help ourselves.
