Native Nations and Museums: Developing an Institutional Framework for Cultural Sovereignty |
45 Tulsa Law Review Rev. 3 (Fall 2009) |
One of the central functions of the modern Museum is to create exhibits that portray diverse cultures through various time periods, thereby introducing peoples to one another in the absence of a more personal interaction.

In the past decade Bolivia has garnered unprecedented global attention with a water war in 2000, a gas war in 2003, the election of Evo Morales in 2005, and a project to rewrite the constitution from the ground up, all portrayed by media as dramatic claims of indigenous rights.

Obligations and Opportunities to Protect Native American Sacred Sites Located on Public Lands |
40 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 479 (Winter 2009) |
Many Native American religious practitioners face a challenge not typically confronted by adherents of Judeo-Christian religious traditions: Native American religious beliefs are tied to the land, not to a church. If native practitioners cannot access and use their sacred land, they cannot access their church. At the same time, many of these sacred... |

Propensity or Stereotype?: a Misguided Evidence Experiment in Indian Country |
19 Cornell Journal of Law & Public Policy 173 (Fall 2009) |
In a significant break with traditional evidence rules and policies, the Federal Rules of Evidence concerning rape and child abuse, Rules 413 and 414, permit the government to admit the accused's prior sexual misconduct as evidence of character and propensity. Although these rules have been roundly criticized, insufficient attention has been paid... |

On the most recent Russian census, conducted during the fall of 2002, respondents were asked to identify their citizenship as well as your national identity. To an English speaker, the use of the term national identity in a census questionnaire--as distinct from citizenship--might be confusing. In English, the term nationality has a dual... |

Red: Racism and the American Indian |
56 UCLA Law Review 591 (February, 2009) |
How does racism work in American Indian law and policy? Scholarship on the subject too often has assumed that racism works for Indians in the same way that it does for African Americans, and has therefore either emphasized the presence of hallmarks of black-white racism, such as uses of blood quantum, as evidence of racism, or has emphasized the... |

Retelling the Stories of Indian Families: Judicial Narratives That Determine the Placement of Indian Children under the Indian Child Welfare Act |

In this article, I consider what constitutes an existing Indian family and explore how different judicial narratives have allowed for inconsistent application of the Indian Child Welfare Act(ICWA), and thus, the placement of Indian children. Judges, like litigants and their attorneys, narrate the facts of a case rhetorically, seeking to persuade.... |

It has been long recognized that a deep tension pervades federal American Indian law.

Popular notions of Indian justice systems owe more to films such as Last of the Mohicans than to historical reality.

Yet shortly after Europeans arrived... |

The sovereign status of Indian tribes in the United States is an endangered species in the menagerie of legal ideals: everywhere stalked, cornered, and assailed by arrows of law.
