Abstract
This Article argues that cooperation between Indian and non-Indian governments will allow Indian tribes to expand their ability to self-govern, while meeting the needs of non-Indian governments frustrated by the limited application of state law in Indian Country. Intergovernmental agreement, a pillar of a strategy championed by those who advocate tearing down the "tyranny of the favored quarter" in metropolitan areas offers enormous potential to improve the efficient provision of local and regional governmental services, to preserve and expand the authority of tribal government, and to reduce the concerns of non-Indians that they might be subject to a tribal government.
