The Native American Tribes represent a special case, in their current reality, hence this separate page. The underlying theory of this site is that ethics & policy issues—and approaches to addressing them—have evolved with human beings and the rest of the world, and that understanding them today requires taking that evolution into account. The Tribes occupy this special place because (1) there is typically less division of essential social responsibilities within a tribe and (2) there is more—and more intimate—interference with the exercise of Native American self-government from external forces.
