Recent Publication: Indian Land Rights, Robert T. Coulter, Steven M. Tullberg

Antioch Law Journal

Land rights have been the central issue in United States-Indian relations over the past hundred years, just as they were during the preceding century. The interplay of two elementary forces has largely determined the nature of relations between Indian nations and the United States. On one hand, Indian nations have fought tenaciously to maintain their land rights. Indian nations, communities and "tribes" have viewed and continue to view land as essential to their economic and cultural well-being, and thus to their continued political existence. Thus, control over their land is central to their survival as nations. On the other hand, …

A Proposal For Extension Of The Occupational Safety And Health Act To Indian-Owned Businesses On Reservations, Maureen M. Crough

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note argues that the Act does not apply to Indian businesses because it does not specifically mention them. While sensitive to the desirability of providing certain kinds of federal protections to all Americans, this Note takes the position that the sovereignty of Indian tribes should not be abrogable except by considered and express congressional action. Concluding nonetheless that the workplace protection the Occupational Safety and Health Act provides should be extended to Indians on reservations, the Note proposes amendment of the Act: to extend its protection; to permit tribal enforcement; and to authorize the federal government to help financially …

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.

Indian Allotment Water Rights, Richard B. Collins

Publications

Allotted tribal lands create troublesome questions for western water lawyers. In this article the author reviews the history of basic Indian reservation water rights created by the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Winters v. United States. He then explains the disposition of those rights when reservation lands are allotted. Finally, he discusses the difficult issues that arise when allotted lands pass from the federal trust become subject to state law, and are transferred to non-Indians.

Is There Any Indian "Law" Left? A Review Of The Supreme Court's 1982 Term, Russel Lawrence Barsh

Washington Law Review

The Supreme Court's decisions have been characterized by an absence of general principles, which the Justices rationalize as the "particularization" of their analysis. The standards that do appear from time to time, such as "balancing interests" and "implied repeal," are merely euphemisms for discretion. There has been no consistent authorship of opinions because the Justices hold little enthusiasm for Indian law cases, and the Court seems to treat each dispute as if it were a matter of first impression. "Generalizations on this subject have become . . . treacherous" as a result of the Court's failure to make and stick …
