Tribal Sovereign Interests Beyond the Reservation Borders |
12 Lewis & Clark Law Review 1003 (Winter 2008) |
After describing how, from a global perspective, traditional concepts of state sovereignty have moved away from being uniquely tied to exclusive control of territories, this Article shows how the United States concept of tribal sovereignty is also no longer tied to territorial sovereignty. This is evident from the fact that, mostly through Supreme... |

Up in Smoke? Narragansett, Hicks, and the Erosion of Tribal Sovereign Immunity |
11 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 453 (Spring 2008) |
The Supreme Court has long recognized the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity from suit. The doctrine was developed exclusively under federal common law, unlike state immunity, and is firmly rooted in American Indian law. Despite its benefit to tribal entities, in recent years the Supreme Court has suggested the need for Congress to abrogate, or... |

(Tribal) Sovereignty and Illiberalism |
95 California Law Review 799 (June, 2007) |
Liberalism struggles with an ancient paradox. That is, it must navigate the sometimes treacherous course between individual autonomy and pluralism's accommodation. In this Article, I argue that this philosophical tension has manifested in very concrete intrusions on American Indians' tribal sovereignty. On the one hand, tribal sovereignty guards... |

American-Indian Law - Taxation - Michigan General Property Tax Act Is Not Valid Against Indian Reservation Land Alloted under the 1854 Treaty Because Congress Did Not Expressly Authorize It. Keweenaw Bay Indian Community v. Naftaly, 452 F.3d 514 (6th Cir. |

In Keweenaw Bay Indian Community v.

Crow Dog: Tribal Sovereignty & Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country |

Crow Dog really started something on that hot dusty August afternoon in the Dakota Territory in 1881.

Just outside the Rosebud Indian Agency on the Great Sioux Reservation, Crow Dog shot and killed Spotted Tail, a Brule Sioux chief.... |

Defeat or Mixed Blessing? Tribal Sovereignty and the State of Sequoyah |

American Indian legal history is replete with stories of foreseeable consequences. Most of these stories involve the United States failing to uphold treaty guarantees. In each of these stories, the United States ignores the tribal diplomatic efforts of the time, engages in unilateral federal action, and tribal autonomy is forever diminished. In... |

46 Washburn Law Journal 453 (Winter 2007) |
An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy. When the Europeans discovered America in 1492, five million people in 600 Indian tribes already inhabited the area now known as the United States. Each tribe had its own language and government and considered itself a distinct sovereign entity. Sovereignty is the force or power... |

Indian Sovereignty - a Brief History |
49-JUN Orange County Lawyer 32 (June, 2007) |
With the advent of Indian gaming the concept of Indian sovereignty has worked its way into the common lexicon. A typical answer to the question as to why Indian Tribes can offer gambling is that those Tribes are sovereigns. While that answer is partially correct, it is not wholly correct. In law, American Indian Tribes are dependent sovereigns.... |

State Statutes Limiting the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine: Tools for Tribes to Reclaim Criminal Jurisdiction Stripped by Public Law 280? |
55 UCLA Law Review 489 (December, 2007) |
Tribal sovereignty suffered greatly by the 1953 passage of Public Law 280, which gave certain states jurisdiction over the Indian country within their borders. However, recent cases show that tribes can preempt this state jurisdiction, and thereby reclaim some measure of sovereignty, if they prosecute crimes first--so long as the surrounding state... |

This article discusses the development of the principle--known as tribal sovereign immunity--that Indian tribes are immune from suit unless they have consented or Congress has abrogated the immunity. Tribal sovereign immunity is a judge-made, or federal common law, doctrine finding its roots in a 1919 Supreme Court decision. Since then, the Supreme... |
