Santa Clara Pueblo V. Martinez In The Evolution Of Federal Law, Richard B. Collins
Tribal Law Journal
Few Indian law decisions have evoked as much scholarly attention as Santa Clara Pueblo.1 Shepard's pulls up over 1000 law review references, and Google reports almost 3,000,000 hits.2 It is a major case in all Indian law treatises and casebooks and is important in several other books.3 Most analyze the decision as an event and focus on its principal holding, denying a federal cause of action for civil enforcement of the Indian Civil Rights Act.4 Policy discussions parse tribal sovereignty and discrimination against women.

Tribal Opposition To Enbridge Line 5: Rights And Interests, John Minode’E Petoskey
Tribal Law Journal
This paper will examine the tribal interests at stake in the controversy surrounding Enbridge Oil Pipeline 5 (“Line 5”), and will explore why it is consistent with Michigan’s treaty obligations and public trust principles to remove the pipeline from the Straits of Mackinac. The Line runs beneath the Straits of Mackinac, the convergence of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and is nearly 70 years old. Should the pipeline burst, the resulting spill would irreparably harm fisheries in the Straits and impair tribal treaty rights to fish in the Great Lakes. Part I will provide a roadmap overview. Part II will …
