Restoring Harmony Through Nalyeeh: Can The Navajo Common Law Of Torts Be Applied In State And Federal Forums?, J. R. Mueller Jan 2001

Restoring Harmony Through Nalyeeh: Can The Navajo Common Law Of Torts Be Applied In State And Federal Forums?, J. R. Mueller

Tribal Law Journal

Restoring Harmony through Nalyeeh: Can the Navajo Common Law of Torts be Applied in State and Federal Forums? by J. R. Mueller demonstrates "that the Navajo Nation has developed and articulated a modern tort law and doctrine of restitution grounded in Navajo tradition and evolved from ancient custom, similar to the Anglo-American notion of common law." This article also explores whether tribal customary law can be applied in state and federal forums in light of a recent federal case Cheromiah v. United States.

[Introduction To] Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty And Federal Law, David E. Wilkins, K. Tsianina Lomawaima Jan 2001

[Introduction To] Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty And Federal Law, David E. Wilkins, K. Tsianina Lomawaima

Bookshelf

In the early 1970s, the federal government began recognizing self-determination for American Indian nations. As sovereign entities, Indian nations have been able to establish policies concerning health care, education, religious freedom, law enforcement, gaming, and taxation. Yet these gains have not gone unchallenged. Starting in the late 1980s, states have tried to regulate and profit from casino gambling on Indian lands. Treaty rights to hunt, fish, and gather remain hotly contested, and traditional religious practices have been denied protection. Tribal courts struggle with state and federal courts for jurisdiction. David E. Wilkins and K. Tsianina Lomawaima discuss how the political …

The Miccosukee Indians And Environmental Law: A Confederacy Of Hope, William H. Rodgers, Jr. Jan 2001

The Miccosukee Indians And Environmental Law: A Confederacy Of Hope, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

Articles

Two legal orphans have found each other. The older one is "Indian Law," a confused, embarrassing, and twisted body of legal rules that "explain" the relationships between the United States and its native peoples. The newer one is "Environmental Law," a complex and jumbled stew of cases and statutes that "prescribe" proper behavior between modern Americans and the natural world.

Both these children of the law are suspected of subversion—the one is tainted by advocates of separate sovereignties, the other by critics of the American way of life. For Native Americans and environmentalists, their recent legal merger is a confederacy …


The Manipulation Of Indigenous Status: The Federal Government As Shape-Shifter, David E. Wilkins Jan 2001

The Manipulation Of Indigenous Status: The Federal Government As Shape-Shifter, David E. Wilkins

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

"The federal-Indian relationship is like no other in the world. Indian tribes are denominated 'domestic-dependent nations' but their practical relationship with the United States 'resembles that of a ward to his guardian.' Indian tribes appear to have the same political status as the independent states of San Marino, Monaco, and Liechtenstein, yet they have little real self-government and seem to be forever mired in a state of political and economic pupilage."

This fifteen-year-old statement from Vine Deloria, Jr., the preeminent Indian political and legal scholar, still accurately reflects the convoluted nature of indigenous political, legal, and economic statuses in the …


Judicial Terror Confronts Indian Nations, David E. Wilkins Jan 2001

Judicial Terror Confronts Indian Nations, David E. Wilkins

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

As the Bush Administration broadens its constitutionally problematic assault on real and alleged terrorists, both home and abroad, endangering the very rights and liberties it accused Osama bin Laden of savagely attacking, the judicial branch of the government, occupied by a majority of conservative justices, is doing its part to shatter the sovereign rights and economic liberties of indigenous nations.


When Indian Law And Tax Law Collide: How Pull-Tab Games Got To The Supreme Court , John Burgess Jan 2001

When Indian Law And Tax Law Collide: How Pull-Tab Games Got To The Supreme Court , John Burgess

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note will explore the reasons why two identical cases can turn out with completely different results. To do so, consideration will be given to the statutes involved and the varying interpretations of these statutes. Another important consideration is the policy behind these statutes, especially the IGRA. Part II will describe what the pull-tab games are, the statutes at issue, the conflicting cases, and the statutory interpretation issue. Part III will describe how the tenets of Indian Law can affect the analysis. Part IV will contain an analysis of the statutes and compare it to how the courts analyzed them. …

Aboriginal Rights In Transition: Reassessing Aboriginal Title And Governance, Kent Mcneil Jan 2001

Aboriginal Rights In Transition: Reassessing Aboriginal Title And Governance, Kent Mcneil

Articles & Book Chapters

In a series of important decisions, the Court has come to grips with a number of issues that it did its best to avoid in the past, involving the identification and definition of Aboriginal rights, the content of Aboriginal title to land and the requirements for proving it, and the relevance of the law of New France to Aboriginal rights today. This paper will focus on these recent developments in the law, as well as attempting to identify areas where the law of Aboriginal rights is incomplete and so requires further judicial elucidation.
