INTRODUCTION\nRecently Wilcomb Washburn (1984) asserted that Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) governments were freely chosen by many tribes and bands and are suited to Indian notions of governance. Two IRA governments of Native American groups are analyzed here: the Upper Skagit Tribe of western Washington State and the St. Lawrence Island Eskimos of Gambell, Alaska.
