The New Challenge to Native Identity: an Essay on "Indigeneity" and "Whiteness" |
18 Washington University Journal of Law and Policy 55 (2005) |
It has never seemed controversial that Native peoples in the United States are indigenous. In fact, pow-wow pundits often joke that in the 1940s, Indians were classified by U.S. census takers as being of the Mongolian race, and then, by the 1960s, they had their own American Indian category, until the 1980s, when they became Native... |

The Revival of Indigenous Justice in Mexico: Challenges for Human Rights and the State |
28 PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review 52 (May, 2005) |
In this article I discuss two new expressions of indigenous justice in Mexico: the Juzgado Municipal Indígena of Cuetzalan in the state of Puebla and the Policía Comunitaria of the state of Guerrero.

On January 1, 1994, two major events occurred in Mexico. One was the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); the other, an armed rebellion deep in the Mexican state of Chiapas initiated by a group of indigenous people calling themselves Zapatistas.

48-JAN Advocate 16 (January, 2005) |
Idaho is one of three jurisdictions currently on the front lines of Indian tax development.

The Two Faces of Intercountry Adoption: the Significance of the Indian Adoption Scandals |

Intercountry adoption has pressed into the public consciousness in two contradictory ways. On the one hand, intercountry adoption is presented as a heart-warming act of good will that benefits both child and adoptive family.

Together, my parents and I stepped into our front yard and stared up into the sky. We saw the big planes roar noisily through the rough air above the reservation.

She had eight legs . . . I'm not as flashy as some . . . but I'm near-sighted. Indigenous peoples have been present on United States soil even before the nation became... |

Indian tribes are not all alike. Tribes range in size from tremendous to tiny.

Supreme Court cases that define the metes and bounds of Indian sovereignty often arise from facts that one would not expect to come before the Supreme Court. Perhaps this is why the facts in Morris v. Tanner, decided on October 28, 2003, seem so ominous. In Morris, a Montana district court upheld Indian sovereignty interests in a seemingly mundane... |
