Michael Lerma (P'urh?pecha) is the author of
Indigenous Sovereignty in the 21st Century: Knowledge for the Indigenous Spring and is Assistant Professor of Politics and International Affairs & Applied Indigenous Studies at Northern Arizona University. His recent research has explored the efficacy of traditional Din? (Navajo) institutions of governance.
