Who Is An Indian? Searching For An Answer To The Question At The Core Of Federal Indian Law, Margo S. Brownell
Who Is An Indian? Searching For An Answer To The Question At The Core Of Federal Indian Law, Margo S. Brownell
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The definition of Indian is the measure of eligibility for a variety of benefits and programs provided to Indians under federal law. There is confusion, however, at the core of efforts to define "Indian." This confusion raises many concerns about the role that government plays in defining "Indian." This Note surveys the most common definitions of "Indian" found in federal statutes, BIA regulations, and state laws. The author argues that the racial basis of many of these laws and regulations are unconstitutional and tread on the sovereignty of Indian tribes. She evaluates efforts of the federal government to avoid these …
Increasing Telephone Penetration Rates And Promoting Economic Development On Tribal Lands: A Proposal To Solve The Tribal And State Jurisdictional Problems, Jennifer L. King
Increasing Telephone Penetration Rates And Promoting Economic Development On Tribal Lands: A Proposal To Solve The Tribal And State Jurisdictional Problems, Jennifer L. King
Federal Communications Law Journal
Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress instructed the FCC to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable telecommunications services. Consistent with that mandate, the FCC implemented a series of public hearings to discuss with tribes the issues they face concerning low telephone penetration rates. The FCC recommended investigation of universal service in unserved and underserved areas because telephone penetration rates among low-income consumers on tribal lands lagged behind rates in the rest of the country. From these hearings, the FCC proposed a jurisdictional framework to determine which eligible carriers would be under tribal, state, or federal jurisdiction. This …
Feds 200, Indians ): The Burden Of Proof In The Federal / Indian Fiduciary Relationship, Eugenia A. Phipps
Feds 200, Indians ): The Burden Of Proof In The Federal / Indian Fiduciary Relationship, Eugenia A. Phipps
Vanderbilt Law Review
"Great nations, like great men, should keep their word."' Justice Black, in his dissent in Federal Power Commission v. Tuscarora Indian Nation, encapsulated the failures of two centuries of the United States' relationship with its native Indians. Since establishing the first tentative treaties of the Revolutionary era, the United States has made many broad promises to the Indians. These promises, detailed first in treaties and later in statutes, drew the government and the Indians into a fiduciary relationship. Although this relationship would have consequences for federal/Indian interactions, raising the level of care with which the government would treat its native …
Race And The Australian Constitution: From Federation To Reconciliation, George Williams
Race And The Australian Constitution: From Federation To Reconciliation, George Williams
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The framing of the Australian Constitution initiated a pattern of discrimination against Australia's Indigenous peoples. They were cast as outsiders to the nation brought about in 1901. This pattern was broken in 1967 by the deletion of the discriminatory provisions from the Constitution. Today, there is strong community support in Australia for the reconciliation process, which would involve recognition of Indigenous peoples as an integral and unique component of the Australian nation. However, this has yet to be translated into substantive legal outcomes. The author analyses the interaction of issues of race and the Australian Constitution as it has affected …

Du Dialogue Au Monologue - Un Commentaire Sur I'Arrêt R. V. Marshall, Nathalie Des Rosiers
Du Dialogue Au Monologue - Un Commentaire Sur I'Arrêt R. V. Marshall, Nathalie Des Rosiers
Dalhousie Law Journal
The author develops a model of constitutional dialogue which aims at helping the resolution of majority-minority conflicts. The model is applied to the aboriginal rights context. The author concludes that because of the ambivalences expressed by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Van der Peet case in particular, the federal government has not incorporated the Sparrow-Badger approach in its litigation and has failed even to attempt to comply with the justification requirements. This failure of the federal government to endorse the Sparrow-Badger approach in its continuing litigation strategy is the real tragedy in the Marshall case.
Was Amerindian Dispossession Lawful? The Response Of 19th-Century Maritime Intellectuals, D G. Bell
Was Amerindian Dispossession Lawful? The Response Of 19th-Century Maritime Intellectuals, D G. Bell
Dalhousie Law Journal
In the half-century ending about the time of Confederation a dozen writers addressed awkward questions about an earlier generation's dispossession of Maritime Amerindians from land and resources: had it been lawful; if so, how; if not, what should be done? In the main they approached it as an abstract question, divorced from those particulars of local history that would become the focus of late-20th-century investigation. Those who theorized that English tradition made dispossession lawful did so with reference to the doctrine of "discovery" or to the proposition, grounded in Locke and accepted widely in colonial public opinion, thatAmerindian possession of …
Marshalling Principles From The Marshall Morass, Leonard Rotman
Marshalling Principles From The Marshall Morass, Leonard Rotman
Dalhousie Law Journal
The Marshall case is the latest in a long series of Supreme Court of Canada decisions concerned with the interpretation of treaties between the Crown and aboriginal peoples in Canada. While the majority and minority judgments agreed on the principles of treaty interpretation to be applied in the case, the significant divergence in opinion between the majority and minority decisions provides important commentary on the differences between articulating and applying these principles. The Marshall case is also noteworthy for the manner in which it addresses similarities and differences pertaining to aboriginal and treaty rights. Because of these various traits, the …
Getting Their Feet Wet: The Supreme Court And The Practical Implementation Of Treaty Rights In The Marshall Case, Phillip Saunders
Getting Their Feet Wet: The Supreme Court And The Practical Implementation Of Treaty Rights In The Marshall Case, Phillip Saunders
Dalhousie Law Journal
Judicial decisions which recognize aboriginal or treaty rights to natural resources inevitably lead on to a process of negotiation, as governments and aboriginal and other users of the resource define the access and management regimes which allow for practical implementation of the legal rights. Courts should be cognizant of the impact of their decisions on such negotiations, and provide adequate clarity and substantive guidance to negotiators. This article considers the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada in the Marshall case from this perspective, and details the shortcomings which made the prospects for successful negotiations less favourable. The weaknesses in …
An Empty Shell Of A Treaty Promise: R. V. Marshall And The Rights Of The Non-Status Indians, Pamela Palmater
An Empty Shell Of A Treaty Promise: R. V. Marshall And The Rights Of The Non-Status Indians, Pamela Palmater
Dalhousie Law Journal
One of the difficult issues presented by R. v. Marshall is that of who is a Mi'kmaq person, or more generally who is entitled to claim to be a beneficiary of the Treaties of 1760-61. This paper examines a number of possible approaches to this matter, including ones based on residence (on or off reserve), descent and the terms of the Indian Act. It notes the deficiencies of existing tests and of Canadian case law that has addressed Aboriginal identity in other contexts. It concludes by noting that the negotiations which must follow in the wake of Marshall present the …

Zuni-Cruz's article questions the impact of enacted western laws on indigenous communities' people and culture.

Negotiation And Native Title: Why Common Law Courts Are Not Proper Fora For Determining Native Land Title Issues, Geoffrey R. Schiveley
Negotiation And Native Title: Why Common Law Courts Are Not Proper Fora For Determining Native Land Title Issues, Geoffrey R. Schiveley
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The displacement of indigenous populations is an obvious but often-overlooked consequence of worldwide European colonization. Until relatively recently, the rights of these groups have consistently been held to lower standards of protection than those of their colonizing counterparts, partly through the use of doctrines such as terra nullius. While earlier decades established the groundwork for recognition of these rights, in the 1990s native rights issues became of greater importance to both the international community and individual nations. Some of this heightened interest can be attributed to a series of high-profile common law court cases that provided native populations with favorable …

L'Intégration Des Valeurs Et Des Intérêts Autochtones Dans Le Discours Judiciaire Et Normatif Canadien, Andrée Lajoie, Eric Gélineau, Isabelle Duplessis, Guy Rocher
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article aims to define the degree to which values presented by groups representing Aboriginal interests in the Supreme Court of Canada have been integrated into the discourse of the Court and the decisions of political actors in Canada. The authors' analysis confirms the hypothesis that the Court, in contrast to its favourable treatment of private claims made by social minorities, is less receptive to the claims made by Aboriginals, a political minority whose claims are centered on political power and territory, issues that have been relegated to political negotiations. The significant difference between judicial and political decisionmakers concerning Aboriginal …
Left Out In The Cold: The Problem With Aboriginal Title Under Section 35(1) Of The Constitution Act, 1982 For Historically Nomadic Aboriginal Peoples, Brian J. Burke
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
In R. v. Adams and Delgamuukw v. British Columbia, the Supreme Court of Canada made statements to the effect that certain historically nomadic Aboriginal groups may be unable to make out a claim for Aboriginal title under section 35(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982. In light of the anthropological evidence relating to the close connection some of these groups enjoyed with the lands they occupied, a serious injustice may arise if these groups are indeed barred from an Aboriginal title claim. The author attempts to correct this potential injustice by demonstrating that at least some of these historically nomadic groups …

Protecting Native Americans: The Tribe As Parens Patriae, Cami Fraser
Protecting Native Americans: The Tribe As Parens Patriae, Cami Fraser
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Note argues that Tribes have parens patriae standing to protect their citizens through litigation on their behalf, even if not all of their citizens are engaged in the litigation. Part I examines the current requirements of parens patriae standing, as articulated by the Supreme Court. Part II briefly examines the nature of tribal sovereignty within American jurisprudence and concludes that parens patriae standing is a retained right of the Tribes. Part III examines the way in which the Federal District Courts have incorrectly handled tribal parens patriae standing. This section argues for a reexamination of Supreme Court doctrine when …
