A Proposal To The Hanodaganyas To Decolonize Federal Indian Control Law, Robert B. Porter Jun 1998

A Proposal To The Hanodaganyas To Decolonize Federal Indian Control Law, Robert B. Porter

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In this Article, cast in the form of a letter to President William Jefferson Clinton, Professor Porter argues for the decolonization of federal Indian control law. After detailing the religious and colonialist roots of early Supreme Court decisions dealing with the Indian nations and giving an overview of the evolution of federal Indian policy, Professor Porter argues for the decolonization of federal Indian control law on several grounds: 1. the world community has rejected colonialism policies; 2. federal Indian control law denies basic human rights of self-determination; 3. colonization has partially succeeded in destroying the Indian nations; and 4. decolonization …

Development Projects And Project-Affected Peoples: The Need To Advance Sustainable Development By Establishing An International Development Institutions Inspection Panel To Redress Grievances, Ram Anand Shankar Jan 1997

Development Projects And Project-Affected Peoples: The Need To Advance Sustainable Development By Establishing An International Development Institutions Inspection Panel To Redress Grievances, Ram Anand Shankar

LLM Theses

Indigenous and tribal communities are frequently affected by development projects in an adverse manner. Often they do not have any effective way of redressing their grievances, particularly against noncompliance of environmental guidelines and rules by International Development Institutions. This thesis explores avenues open to affected peoples to redress their grievances regarding the negative impacts of development projects. The thesis begins by defining "Project Affected Peoples," explores the concept of sustainable development, and suggests consequent principles for development projects. Then follows an examination of an existing grievance-redressal mechanism, the World Bank Inspection Panel, which has been mandated to redress complaints from …

Human Rights Education Programs For Indigenous Peoples: Teaching Whose Human Rights, Lynda Frost Jan 1995

Human Rights Education Programs For Indigenous Peoples: Teaching Whose Human Rights, Lynda Frost

St. Thomas Law Review

During the difficult decades of the 1970s and 1980s, human rights organizations (HROs), especially nongovernmental HROs, flourished in the Americas. The HROs directed their attention and resources toward documenting and denouncing the numerous and flagrant violations of human rights occurring in the region More recently the HROs found, partly because of their success, that demands for their services and funding for their projects have diminished. In an effort to revive and refocus their energy, many HROs have turned to human rights education as a new focus. Latin America has a strong tradition of popular education. Using techniques developed in popular …

The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr

Faculty Works

The Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona have existed as a stable or steady state society for a thousand years or more, and, even though they have felt the impact of white growth society in this century, they have maintained a greater cultural integrity than any other native people in the United States. This Article examines traditional Hopi values and institutions, especially their law. Hopi thinking and social organization were shaped by a profound reverence for their environment and an equally profound awareness of the constraints it imposed. With its growing sense of a need for balance with the environment, modern …


Book Review Of Passion: An Essay On Personality , Richard F. Devlin Frsc Jan 1985

Book Review Of Passion: An Essay On Personality , Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Passion is a cogently structured, compel Jingly argued and seductively enthralling masterpiece which, in years to come, will undoubtedly stand out as an inspirational source for many who seek social transformation. Unger's style, in this essay at least, is lucid and inviting. Substantively, Passion demonstrates not only the depth of his penetrating intellect but also his command of an array of' disciplines. Unger's polymathy is all the more impressive when we remember that ours is an era in which idiosyncratic specialization is the norm.
