This research explores the relationship between Native American newspapers and tribal sovereignty. By means of a content analysis of more than a thousand environmental stories in four tribal newspapers in Wisconsin, interviews with Native American journalists, and discussions with Indian focus groups, the study examines the themes and values tribal journalists and their readers attach to sovereignty. The research suggests that Native newspapers are an important source of information about sovereignty for Native Americans. It also finds that cultural values and themes that reinforce sovereignty emerge from Native news reports about the environment.

Criminal prosecution has become a way to influence collective memory in cases of state-sponsored mass murders, but such efforts call for a degree of dramatization that conflicts with the traditional functions of criminal law. Some issues include abrogation of defendants' rights in the interests of social solidarity, possible distortions of historical understanding, and dangers of such cases as precedent or analogy. The responsibility and guilt may be too widespread. In addition, there may be problems in attempting to deliberately construct collective memory, and dishonesty may be required. Examples from Germany, France, Japan, Israel and Argentina are discussed.
