Professor Perdue describes her use of materials on Indian Tribes at the end of her Conflict of Laws course as a vehicle for examining the interrelations among choice of law, Jurisdiction, and recognition of judgments. Her goal is not to make students experts in Indian law, but rather to get students to reexamine assumptions about the nature of sovereignty and the role of choice of law, jurisdiction, and recognition of judgments as devices for recognizing and allocating governmental authority
The Dominant Society's Judicial Reluctance To Allow Tribal Civil Law To Apply To Non-Indians: Reservation Diminishment, Modern Demography And The Indian Civil Rights Act, Robert Laurence

Clinton's sacred site executive order applies to all "federal lands" and to all "recognized" Indian tribes. A "sacred site" is defined as "any specific, discrete, narrowly delineated location of Federal land that is identified by an Indian tribe, or Indian individual... as sacred by virtue of its established religious significance to, or ceremonial use by, an Indian religion; provided that the tribe or appropriately authoritative representative of an Indian religion has informed the agency of the existence of such a site."
The issue that seemed most troublesome from William Downes' legal perspective, besides the alleged Establishment clause violation, was that …
