What's past Is Prologue : the Status and Contemporary Relevance of American Indian Treaties |
7 St. Thomas Law Review 603 (Summer, 1995) |
If there is any subject related to American Indians of which the average American has any knowledge, it is Indian treaties. Those citizens who possess this passing knowledge of Indian history and American Indian law often dismiss Indian treaty rights because they believe in the myth of the broken treaty. This myth says that conduct on the part of... |

When Judicial Flexibility Becomes Abuse of Discretion: Eliminating the "Good Cause" Exception in Indian Child Welfare Act Adoptive Placements |
79 Minnesota Law Review 1167 (May, 1995) |
When the power [to grant an adoption] is used to remove an Indian child from the surrounding most likely to connect that child with his or her cultural heritage, that decision unintentionally continues the gradual genocide of the Indians in America. Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) to stop the mass removal of Native... |

A Link Between Water Quality and Water Rights?: Native American Control over Water Quality |
30 Tulsa Law Journal 105 (Fall, 1994) |
It is well settled that Indians have exclusive control over tribal lands, subject only to a superior power of the United States. It is also well settled that Indians have a right to a quantity of water that is sufficient for the reservation needs under a first in time, first in right system of water appropriation. An open question, however, is... |

More than 200 years ago, relatively small groups of people lived a freespirited existence along the eastern seaboard of what is now the United States of America.

A Tale of Two Marshalls: Reflections on Indian Law and Policy, the Cherokee Cases, and the Cruel Irony of Supreme Court Victories |
47 Oklahoma Law Review 111 (Spring, 1994) |
The history of the Cherokee Nation before the Supreme Court is marked off at each end by two important cases. The first is Worcester v. Georgia and its earlier companion case of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia; the most recent is the Arkansas Riverbed Case. Both have been hailed as tribal victories in which the Supreme Court found in favor of the... |

A Trust Divided Cannot Stand--an Analysis of Native Hawaiian Land Rights |
67 Temple Law Review 699 (Summer 1994) |
The history of Hawaii and its people is the least known and possibly the most egregious of any in the United States. Most Americans do not know that Hawaii was taken by conquest, not discovery. On January 17, 1893, a company of United States Marines, at the request of United States Foreign Minister John L. Stephens, landed on the shores of Hawaii... |

A World Without Tribes? Tribal Rights of Self-government and the Enforcement of State Court Orders in Indian Country |
61 University of Chicago Law Review 707 (Spring, 1994) |
A state court can generally assert jurisdiction over a civil suit arising out of Indian Country where state civil jurisdiction 1) is not preempted by federal law and 2) does not infringe upon tribal rights of self-government. The Supreme Court has declared that the infringement prong of this infringement-preemption test requires an analysis of both... |

An Anomaly Unknown: Supreme Court Application of International Law Norms on Indigenous Rights in the Cherokee Cases (1831-32) |

[I] think it very clear that the Constitution neither speaks of them as states or foreign states, but as just what they were, Indian tribes; an anomaly unknown to the books that treat of states, and which the law of nations would regard as nothing more than wandering hordes, held together only by ties of blood and habit, and having neither laws or... |

Indian tribes in the United States, while not considered independent sovereign nations, are entitled to certain rights of autonomy in their internal affairs.

This allows an Indian tribe to bring suit against a state for failing to... |

In the United States, federal and state governments have jurisdiction over crimes that occur within their borders.
