The Rights of Indians and Tribes is one of the most accessible
introductory texts on the subject currently available. It
uses uses short, clearly-worded essays on areas of Indian
Law and its history, as well as sections written in a 'Questions-and-Answers'
style applying the legal concepts to particular situations. |
This recently updated edition emphasizes what
legal battles have been launched against Indians and tribes over
time, and also what struggles they face in protecting various
aspects of traditional and contemporary life. Discussed topics
include: legal powers of Indian tribes; civil and criminal jurisdiction
on Indian reservations; Indian Civil Rights Act and more. This
book is a must-have for activists and students of Indian Law,
but would also be very handy for those interested in law in itself
and American Indian history. Get book >>>
