Retracing The Discovery Doctrine: Aboriginal Title, Tribal Sovereignty, And Their Significance To Treaty-Making And Modern Natural Resources Policy In Indian Country, Michael C. Blumm Jan 2004

Retracing The Discovery Doctrine: Aboriginal Title, Tribal Sovereignty, And Their Significance To Treaty-Making And Modern Natural Resources Policy In Indian Country, Michael C. Blumm

Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)

One of the more misunderstood concepts of Anglo-American law is the discovery doctrine, the principle by which Europeans rationalized their presence in North America. Misinterpretation of the doctrine led to unwarranted assumptions about the relationship between the federal government and indigenous tribes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and to misinterpretations abroad, notably in Australia. These misinterpretations by judges and Congress made the discovery doctrine into what one scholar called a perfect instrument of empire. But this article maintains that this result was a perversion of the doctrine laid down in the early 19th century by the Marshall …

Federal Law, State Policy, And Indian Gaming, Kevin Washburn Jan 2004

Federal Law, State Policy, And Indian Gaming, Kevin Washburn

Faculty Scholarship

This Article will set forth the legal authorization and the economic success of Indian gaming by asking and answering two rhetorical questions: "What makes Indian gaming lawful?" and "What makes Indian gaming successful?" This Article will conclude with the observation that Indian gaming exists almost entirely at the mercy of state governments. It will argue that, while Indian gaming began as a cross-border issue, it no longer has those features. Indeed, it has been transformed into the very antithesis of a cross-border issue, a political issue that is addressed almost entirely in the sphere of state political processes. The issue …

Part II of this article will describe the Minnesota Rule and compare it to the Arizona Rules that shortly preceded it. Part III will describe the rulemaking processes that produced the Minnesota and Arizona Rules and seek to provide insight into how Minnesota reached such a markedly different result than Arizona. Part III will also mine the insights from these processes and from other sources to offer some explanation as to why the Arizona Supreme Court …

Individual Aboriginal Rights, John W. Ragsdale Jr Jan 2004

Individual Aboriginal Rights, John W. Ragsdale Jr

Faculty Works

When Whites first came to North America, they encountered an indigenous population in relative balance with the land. It was not a perfect harmony, but was, nonetheless, capable of enduring indefinitely. Regardless of episodic instability caused by erosion, over-hunting, or deforestation, the distinguishing socio-economic facts were that the native peoples did not treat the land as a commodity or freely exploitable resource, they were not preoccupied with economic growth or personal gain, and they did not believe in human domination over the rest of the world. Instead, their central beliefs were balance and reciprocity. How were these subsistence communities and …


The Plight Of "Nappy-Headed" Indians: The Role Of Tribal Sovereignty In The Systematic Discrimination Against Black Freedmen By The Federal Government And Native American Tribes, Terrion L. Williamson Jan 2004

The Plight Of "Nappy-Headed" Indians: The Role Of Tribal Sovereignty In The Systematic Discrimination Against Black Freedmen By The Federal Government And Native American Tribes, Terrion L. Williamson

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Note concerns the role the government has played in the exclusion of Black Freedmen from Native American nations through its implementation and interpretation of the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity ("tribal sovereignty" or "tribal immunity"). Part I discusses the background of the Freedmen within the Five Civilized Tribes and provides an overview of the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity, including its role in the controversy concerning the status of Black Indians. Part II discusses the interpretations given to the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity by United States courts and executive agencies and the effects of those interpretations on relations …


Individual Aboriginal Rights, John W. Ragsdale Jr. Jan 2004

Individual Aboriginal Rights, John W. Ragsdale Jr.

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Article will, in Section I, deal with the legal development of the concept of individual aboriginal rights. It will focus on the Western Shoshone land claims before the Indian Claims Commission, and the federal government's trespass claims against the ranching operations of the redoubtable, irrepressible Dann sisters. Section II will explore the development and utilization of the doctrine of individual aboriginal rights in a series of cases involving the Dann sisters, subsequent Western Shoshone, and other efforts by native people to secure subsistence hunting and fishing rights and possession of or access to sacred sites. Section III will explore …

A Legacy Of Public Law 280: Comparing And Contrasting Minnesota’S New Rule For The Recognition Of Tribal Court Judgments With The Recent Arizona Rule, Kevin K. Washburn, Chloe Thompson

William Mitchell Law Review

Tribal court dockets across the country have been growing steadily, and tribal courts are becoming an important part of the judicial fabric of the United States. To acknowledge this reality, state courts and legislatures across the United States have begun to address the important issues of how and whether to recognize tribal court judgments in state courts. The Minnesota Supreme Court adopted a rule that took effect in January of 2004 that provides guidelines for the recognition and enforcement of tribal court orders and judgments. The Minnesota Supreme Court Rule on the Recognition and Enforcement of Tribal Court Orders and …


"Power Over This Unfortunate Race," Race, Power And Indian Law In U.S. V. Rogers, Bethany Berger Jan 2004

"Power Over This Unfortunate Race," Race, Power And Indian Law In U.S. V. Rogers, Bethany Berger

Faculty Articles and Papers

In 1846, the Supreme Court held in United States v. Rogers that a white man who had become a citizen of the Cherokee Nation through marriage was not an Indian for purposes of federal criminal jurisdiction. This article examines the extensive fabrications of law and fact that underlie the decision, and its part in a campaign by the executive branch to increase federal power over Indian people. The campaign involved the Attorney General of the United States arguing before the Supreme Court for the right to prosecute a man that had died ten months earlier. More profoundly, the campaign was …


Indian Policy And The Imagined Indian Woman, Bethany Berger Jan 2004

Indian Policy And The Imagined Indian Woman, Bethany Berger

Faculty Articles and Papers

In this contribution to the symposium on Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez held by the Tribal Law Center at the University of Kansas, I reflect (with pictures!) on the role of women in federal American Indian policy and tie this history to current debates about the Martinez decision. I argue that the perception by non-Indians that they were riding to the rescue of oppressed and exploited Indian women was always a powerful justification for Indian policy, but that the Indian women whose plight called out for European and American protection were not real women, but were instead imagined by the …

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back On The Rez: Is It Safe , Jared B. Cawley Jan 2004

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back On The Rez: Is It Safe , Jared B. Cawley

Cleveland State Law Review

This article will trace the history of tribal criminal jurisdiction following the arrival of the colonists, through the foundation of the United States government, and will lead into where it stands today. On this journey, this article will discuss significant statutes and case law dealing with the role tribal courts have played in handling criminal jurisdiction in Indian country and will also discuss some important studies conducted by the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics and others on the current state of violent crime in Indian country, as well as the tribes' ability to handle it. Finally, this article …


Double Jeopardy And Nonmember Indians In Indian Country, Terrill Pollman Jan 2004

Double Jeopardy And Nonmember Indians In Indian Country, Terrill Pollman

Scholarly Works

The ambivalence of the federal government to the sovereignty of native tribes is ordinarily a quiet fact of life in this country. Now, the federal circuits have disturbed that quiet by rendering opposing rulings on the question whether the Double Jeopardy Clause bars successive tribal/federal prosecution of nonmember Indians in Indian Country. The Ninth Circuit has held the Double Jeopardy Clause does not present a bar to successive tribal/federal prosecutions. In contrast, the Eighth Circuit has held that the Double Jeopardy Clause prohibits subsequent prosecution because the source of the tribe's jurisdiction, if it has jurisdictional power, is the same …


Continuity Of Aboriginal Rights, Kent Mcneil Jan 2004

Continuity Of Aboriginal Rights, Kent Mcneil

Articles & Book Chapters

In this chapter from Advancing Aboriginal Claims: Visions, Strategies, Directions, Kent McNeil discusses the Van der Peet and Delgamuukw decisions in the context of the continuity of Aboriginal Rights. His essential question concerns how essential proof of continuity is for establishing Aboriginal rights: is it necessary in all cases, or only in cases concerning specific traditions, or occupation of land, subsequent to European contact or sovereignty?

Santa Clara Pueblo V. Martinez: Twenty-Five Years Of Disparate Cultural Visions An Essay Introducing The Case For Re-Argument Before The American Indian Nations Supreme Court, Gloria Valencia-Weber Jan 2004

Santa Clara Pueblo V. Martinez: Twenty-Five Years Of Disparate Cultural Visions An Essay Introducing The Case For Re-Argument Before The American Indian Nations Supreme Court, Gloria Valencia-Weber

Faculty Scholarship

Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez nakedly presents a conflict between the individual rights norm of equality and the communal or collective political right of the first sovereigns within U.S. borders. The conflict underlies the discourse in law scholarship and reflects disparate cultural visions between mainstream society and American Indians. In Indian law the decision has saliency with positive and negative force injected into different arenas besides equal protection, gender, and membership qualifications. It is a major fortification for the federally recognized tribal sovereigns to exclude external law and forums, the federal law and courts, in how tribes exercise self-government. The …


Lara, Lawrence, Supreme Court Litigation, And Lessons From Social Movements, Kevin Washburn Jan 2004

Lara, Lawrence, Supreme Court Litigation, And Lessons From Social Movements, Kevin Washburn

Faculty Scholarship

United States v. Lara was hailed as a victory for Indian tribes because it upheld tribal criminal jurisdiction over non-member Indians. Lawrence v. Texas was hailed as a victory for the gay rights movement because it upheld the due process right of gays to be protected from criminal prosecutions for consensual sexual acts done in private within their own homes. Despite dramatically different contexts, the two cases share a common thread: both are cases in which interested groups achieved important successes by marshalling broad support for their arguments at the briefing stage which helped pave the way for Supreme Court …
