The Supreme Court has recognized that Indian tribes, like other sovereigns in our governmental system, enjoy sovereign immunity the right not to be sued without their consent.

Far best is he who knows all things himself; Good, he that hearkens when men counsel right; But he who neither knows, nor lays to heart Another's wisdom, is a useless wight. Three decades ago, a new generation of Indian lawyers began to emerge from the law schools of this country. This first generation of Indian lawyers has exerted a tremendous... |

Abstract: It is well recognized that culturally and spiritually relevant alcohol and chemical dependency treatment programs are most successful.

In 1831, Chief Justice John Marshall set the stage for a paradox that continues today. In a landmark decision, he categorized Indian tribes as domestic dependent nations, and the phrase has eluded definition ever since. Domestic dependent nation may be an oxymoron. Nation, at the very least, implies independence rather than dependence;... |
