For the past few decades, and increasingly in the past few years, U.S. state governments have supplemented federal immigration law with state laws overtly designed to combat the perceived ills stemming from undocumented immigration to the United States. Proponents of these laws justify them on the basis of a normative negativity associated with... |

The Struggle for Laws of Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation in Peru: Lessons and Ambiguities in the Recognition of Indigenous Peoples |
22 Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal 353 (March, 2013) |
Despite the fact that Peru ratified ILO Convention 169 on December 2, 1993 and was therefore bound by those dispositions, it adopted public policies without consulting indigenous people. This lack of dialogue led to social conflict over the management of natural resources. In June 2009, a violent episode of social unrest emerged in the... |

American Indian tribes are in a crisis of identity. No one can rationally devise a boundary line between who is an American Indian and who is not.

UNCOUNSELED TRIBAL COURT GUILTY PLEAS IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS: INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS VERSUS TRIBAL SELF-GOVERNANCE |
111 Michigan Law Review 617 (February, 2013) |
Indian tribes in the United States are separate sovereigns with inherent self-governing authority. As a result, the Bill of Rights does not directly bind the tribes, and criminal defendants in tribal courts do not enjoy the protection of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. In United States v. Ant, a defendant-- without the legal assistance that a... |

WHO CONTROLS TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP? THE LEGAL BACKGROUND OF DISENROLLMENT AND TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP LITIGATION |
2013 Aspatore 5293043 (October, 2013) |
In the case of most American Indian tribes, the tribes themselves have historically had the power to determine tribal membership. For centuries, American Indian tribes banished people as punishment for serious offenses. In recent years, however, a trend has been evident with tribes canceling membership, or disenrolling tribal members, due to... |

The concept of economic development sounds deceptively simple. Build a product. Sell consumer goods. Provide a service. Advertise.
