Carla D. Pratt Tribes and Tribulations: Beyond Sovereign Immunity and Toward Reparation and Reconciliation for the Estelusti 11 Washington and Lee Race and Ethnic Ancestry Law Journal 61 (Winter, 2005) This Article advocates a form of micro-reparations for a limited class of African Americans--the Estelusti (black Indians). The Article seeks reparations in the form of racial healing not only from the United States Government, but also from one particular participant in African American slavery--Native American Indian Tribes. The Article begins by; Search Snippet: ...in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. David Wallace Adams, Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience 1875-1928 51-53 (1995).

Sarah Krakoff A Narrative of Sovereignty: Illuminating the Paradox of the Domestic Dependent Nation 83 Oregon Law Review 1109 (Winter 2004) In my view, the tribes either are or are not separate sovereigns, and our federal Indian law cases untenably hold both positions simultaneously. The [U.S.] Constitution never took away Indian self-governance; that governance flows from the people.

Juan F. Perea Buscando América: Why Integration and Equal Protection Fail to Protect Latinos 117 Harvard Law Review 1420 (March, 2004) So you see it is up to the white population to keep the Mexican on his knees in an onion patch or in new ground. This does not mix well with education. The lessons of subordination formed the most vital part of the curriculum. The schools renewed the conquest every semester.

Steven J. Gunn Compacts, Confederacies, and Comity: Intertribal Enforcement of Tribal Court Orders 34 New Mexico Law Review 297 (Spring, 2004) Indian tribes and their reservations have been described as America's internal colonies. Since the arrival of Europeans on this continent, Indian people have seen their tribes divided, their lands taken, and their sovereignty diminished. For well over a century, the U.S. Congress has exercised so-called plenary power over Indian affairs, enacting; Search Snippet: ...of tribal governments. In its darkest moments, Congress has abrogated Indian treaties, divided reservations into farm-sized allotments for individual Indians, sold surplus Indian lands to homesteaders, acculturated Indian children in off-reservation boarding schools, suppressed Indian cultural and religious practices, imposed federal and, in some cases... 2004
Lynne Henderson Foreword: Pursuing Equal Justice in the West 5 Nevada Law Journal L.J. 1 (Fall 2004) On February 20 and 21 of 2004, the William S. Boyd School of Law hosted a conference on Pursuing Equal Justice in the West, inspired by the fiftieth anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education (I) and the fortieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We were privileged to have outstanding scholars in both history and law deliver wonderful; Search Snippet: ...the vote. Another set of laws and practices that injured Indians was federal law placing Indian children in boarding schools and allowing adoptions of Indian children by white parents without scrutiny. Congress finally responded to these abuses by enacting the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA). [FN11] Uneasy Tensions Between Children's... 2004

Lawrence R. Baca Meyers V. Board of Education: the Brown V. Board of Indian Country 2004 University of Illinois Law Review 1155 (2004) The U.S. Supreme Court announced the constitutional promise of an equal, unified education for African American students by deciding Brown v.

Scott C. Idleman Multiculturalism and the Future of Tribal Sovereignty 35 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 589 (Summer 2004) One of the most important things to understand about American Indian tribes is the simple fact that tribes are governments--not non-profit organizations, not interest groups, not an ethnic minority.

In Indian country, state and tribal standards for determining Indian may belie personal and private definitions of identity.
