Skull Valley Crossroads: Reconciling Native Sovereignty and the Federal Trust |
68 Maryland Law Review 290 (2009) |
It has been long recognized that a deep tension pervades federal American Indian law. The foundational principles of the field--on the one hand, the notion that tribes keep their inherent right of sovereignty and, on the other, that the federal government has a power and duty to protect them--clash on their face. Despite years of criticism of this... |

Striving for the Independence of Native American Tribal Courts |
36-WTR Human Rights 16 (Winter, 2009) |
Popular notions of Indian justice systems owe more to films such as Last of the Mohicans than to historical reality. They conjure up images of a heroic frontiersman or maiden tied to a stake surrounded by blazing logs. No matter the version presented, the idea is clear: Indian legal systems are patently unfair. Yet shortly after Europeans arrived... |
