Joanne Barker. Sovereignty Matters: Locations of Contestation and Possibility in Indigenous Struggles for Self-Determination. Lincoln: U of Nebraska P, 2005. 235 pp.

When taken as a whole, the collection of essays that comprise Sovereignty Matters answers this question with a resounding "YES!" and it is in this self-conscious ambiguity where the key strength of the text resides.
