Statutes Of Ill Repose And Threshold Canons Of Construction: A Unified Approach To Ambiguity After San Carlos Apache Tribe V. United States, Daniel Lee
Seattle University Law Review
Historically, the San Carlos Apache Tribe depended on the Gila River to irrigate crops and sustain a population of around 14,000 tribe members. The river is also sacred to the Tribe and central to the Tribe’s culture and spirituality. Initially, the federal government had recognized the Tribe’s dependence on the Gila River by reserving, under the Winters doctrine, water rights necessary to support the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Acting as the Tribe’s trustee, the United States entered into the Globe Equity Decree (the Decree), which prevented the San Carlos Apache Tribe from claiming water rights under the Winters doctrine and …
Unjustifiable Expectations: Laying To Rest The Ghosts Of Allotment-Era Settlers, Ann E. Tweedy
Unjustifiable Expectations: Laying To Rest The Ghosts Of Allotment-Era Settlers, Ann E. Tweedy
Seattle University Law Review
During the allotment era, the federal government took land from tribes and parceled some of it out to individual tribal members, while, in most cases, selling off the remainder to non-Indian settlers. Those actions, which are properly understood as unconstitutional takings, have been reinforced through decades of Supreme Court precedent. Specifically, the Court has used the now repudiated federal allotment policy, which contemplated eventual abolition of tribal governments, to justify contemporary incursions on tribal jurisdictional authority as well as other limitations on tribal sovereign rights. In this way, the Court builds new injustices upon old ones. This Article responds to …

The Use Of Hiring Preferences By Alaska Native Corporations After Malabed V. North Slope Borough, James P. Mills
The Use Of Hiring Preferences By Alaska Native Corporations After Malabed V. North Slope Borough, James P. Mills
Seattle University Law Review
This article argues that Native corporations can provide employment preferences for Alaska Natives, so long as they are appropriately tailored to provide employment preferences to that corporation's shareholders or those closely related to the shareholders. Moreover, a hiring preference based on shareholder status is not a preference based on race and, as such, does not violate Alaska state law.24 But even if the Alaska Supreme Court found that these hiring preferences did violate the state constitution, given the federal government's unique relationship with Native corporations 25 and Congress's clear intent for Native corporations to favor Alaska Natives in their hiring …

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakima Nation …
The United States Supreme Court And Indigenous Peoples: Still A Long Way To Go Toward A Therapeutic Role, S. James Anaya
The United States Supreme Court And Indigenous Peoples: Still A Long Way To Go Toward A Therapeutic Role, S. James Anaya
Seattle University Law Review
Although the Court has in many instances ruled in favor of Native Americans, its approach in the multiple cases it has decided involving them could rarely be called therapeutic in the sense that term is used in the Introduction to this issue. The Court's jurisprudence in this area provides perhaps the starkest American example of the appellate judiciary functioning in an antitherapeutic role in the context of majority-minority conflicts. In this brief Article, I will identify particular aspects of the Court's jurisprudence to make this point. Further, I will suggest what is needed in order for the Court to function …

Property Taxation Of Indian Land After County Of Yakima V. Confederated Tribes And Bands Of The Yakima Nation, Robert W. Mcgee
Property Taxation Of Indian Land After County Of Yakima V. Confederated Tribes And Bands Of The Yakima Nation, Robert W. Mcgee
Seattle University Law Review
In 1987, Yakima County, Washington, initiated foreclosure proceedings on properties belonging to the Yakima Indian Nation and its members. The county's foreclosure was precipitated by the property owners' failure to pay past due ad valorem and excise taxes. Despite vigorous arguments by the Yakima Nation, the United States, and the thirty-one Yakima Indian families likely to be rendered homeless by an adverse decision, the United States Supreme Court held in County of Yakima v. Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakima Nation, that states have the power to impose ad valorem taxes on reservation land owned in fee by …
When The Bough Breaks: Federal And Washington State Indian Child Welfare Law And Its Application, Kim Laree Schnuelle
When The Bough Breaks: Federal And Washington State Indian Child Welfare Law And Its Application, Kim Laree Schnuelle
Seattle University Law Review
Although removal of any child from his or her family is traumatic, too frequently Indian child removal has been performed with little prior investigation and with an absence of cultural sensitivity. The resulting inequalities in Indian child foster placement and adoption rates led to a recognition of the need for Indian child welfare reform, both on a federal and state level. This Article provides an overview of Indian child welfare issues and addresses both the evolution and nature of Indian child welfare reform. Initially, this Article discusses the federal Indian Child Welfare Act, including the cultural history behind the Act, …
Two Promises, Two Propositions: The Wheeler-Howard Act As A Reconciliation Of The Indian Law Civil War, Bradley B. Furber
Two Promises, Two Propositions: The Wheeler-Howard Act As A Reconciliation Of The Indian Law Civil War, Bradley B. Furber
Seattle University Law Review
This Article argues that current Supreme Court reasoning concerning the reserved powers of state governments undermines Supreme Court reasoning with respect to the retained powers of tribal governments. This Article also argues that tribal assertions of power over nonmembers constitute "state action" and, as such, should be subject to constitutional due process and equal protection constraints. Third, this Article will apply its thesis by discussing and critiquing a recent Supreme Court decision concerning tribal zoning authority over nonmembers. Fourth, the Article posits an explicit theory concerning tribal governmental powers that is consistent with the legislative history of the Wheeler-Howard Act …
Falling Through The Cracks After Duro V. Reina: A Close Look At A Jurisdictional Failure, Eric B. White
Falling Through The Cracks After Duro V. Reina: A Close Look At A Jurisdictional Failure, Eric B. White
Seattle University Law Review
The decision in Duro v. Reina needlessly creates a jurisdictional gap over nonmember Indians committing minor crimes against other Indians on reservation land and leaves open the very real possibility that neither the federal nor the state governments will move in to fill that gap. A nonmember offender at the Washington festival would simply walk away. To understand how this jurisdictional gap over nonmember Indians needlessly came about and why neither the federal government nor the state governments will step in to exercise jurisdiction, this Note (1) looks at the complex web of law on criminal jurisdiction over Indians; (2) …
Undermining Tribal Land Use Regulatory Authority: Brendale V. Confederated Tribes, Jessica S. Gerrard
Undermining Tribal Land Use Regulatory Authority: Brendale V. Confederated Tribes, Jessica S. Gerrard
Seattle University Law Review
The Allotment Act of 1887 diminished tribal regulatory authority over Indian reservation land use. While the Act provided for alienation of reservation land to non-Indians, it did not terminate the reservation status of alienated land. Hence, a question which repeatedly arises is whether Indians can control land use on non-Indian owned reservation land. This Note traces the historical basis of Indian regulatory authority over non-Indians, examines the Supreme Court's latest decision in Brendale, and then exposes the weaknesses of that decision.

Pacific Northwest Indian Treaty Fishing Rights, Thomas C. Galligan, Jr., Michael T. Reynvaan
Pacific Northwest Indian Treaty Fishing Rights, Thomas C. Galligan, Jr., Michael T. Reynvaan
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment analyzes and discusses this ongoing controversy, focusing on the treaty Indians' history, the background of the treaty negotiations and signings, the principles of construction governing the interpretation of Indian treaties, and the relevant legal precedents. It attempts to construct a coherent approach to the Washington fishing rights controversy emphasizing that the Washington Indians' paramount purpose in these treaties was maintaining the right to fish. Two lower court cases that successfully took account of the Indians' purpose and meaningfully effectuated that purpose in relation to twentieth century developments are Judge Boldt's decision in United States v. Washington (Boldt) and …
