African Americans and Aboriginal Peoples: Similarities and Differences in Historical Experiences |
90 Cornell Law Review 515 (January, 2005) |
In August of 2003, Harvard University hosted a major conference, organized by the Civil Rights Project, titled Segregation and Integration in America's Present and Future. The conference was appropriately subtitled the Color Lines Conference, in reference to W.E.B. Du Bois's classic 1903 study The Souls of Black Folk. This sprawling conference; Search Snippet: ...Indian religious practices and traditional forms of government, separation of Indian children from their homes, wholesale spoliation of treaty-guaranteed resources, forced... |

Beyond Reparations: an American Indian Theory of Justice |
66 Ohio State Law Journal L.J. 1 (2005) |
It is perhaps impossible to overstate the magnitude of the human injustice perpetrated against American Indian people: indeed, the severity and duration of the harms endured by the original inhabitants of the U.S. may well rival those suffered by any other group past or present, domestic or international.

Beyond the Citizen/alien Dichotomy: Liberty, Security, and the Exercise of Plenary Power |
14 Temple Political & Civil Rights Law Review 389 (Spring, 2005) |
[Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, t]here has been much talk about the need to sacrifice liberty for security. In practice, however, the government has most often at least initially sacrificed noncitizens' liberties while retaining basic protections for citizens. This is a politically tempting way to mediate the tension between liberty and; Search Snippet: ...other gross injustices, the forced removal of generations of American Indian children from their families and their imprisonment in boarding schools; [FN50] the involuntary sterilization of staggering numbers of women of child-bearing age by the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Indian Health Services; [FN51] the leasing of the most profitable native land and mineral resources at prices dramatically below market value... |

Considering Individual Religious Freedoms under Tribal Constitutional Law |

Environment, culture, religion, and life are very much interrelated. Indeed, they are often one and the same. Water for example, is the lifeblood of the people.

Indian tribes and their reservations have been described as America's internal colonies.

For well over a century, the U.S. Congress has exercised so-called plenary power over Indian affairs, enacting; Search Snippet: ...of tribal governments.

47 South Dakota Law Review 282 (2002) |
Interstate child support advocacy has been streamlined to deal with the problems relating to parties residing in different jurisdictions.
