Chicana/Chicano Land Tenure In The Agrarian Domain: On The Edge Of A "Naked Knife", Guadalupe T. Lunda

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

Neither sovereignty nor property rights could forestall American geopolitical expansion in the first half of the nineteenth century. The conflicts that resulted from this clash of doctrine with desire are perhaps most evident in the history of the Chicanas/Chicanos of Texas, California, and the Southwest, who sought to maintain their land and property, as guaranteed by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in the aftermath of the U.S.- Mexico War. Integrating an exploration of case law with political and social histories of the period, the Author explores the sociolegal significance of Chicana/Chicano land dispossession; exposes the racial, economic, and political motivations …

Easements By Necessity: A Threshold For Inholder Access Rights Under The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, Galen G.B. Schuler

Washington Law Review

Nineteenth Century federal land grants created a legacy of private lands surrounded by federal land in the American West. Owners of such lands (inholders) were routinely granted access across federal land by implicit common law rights until the 1960s when federal land policy became more restrictive. In 1981, the Ninth Circuit held that the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) provided a statutory entitlement for inholder access. Since then, the Ninth Circuit also has held that ANILCA preempts any common law access rights. This Comment argues that the common law doctrine of easements by necessity remains a threshold basis …

Conference organizers, faculty and/or moderators included University of Colorado School of Law professors Lawrence J. MacDonnell, David H. Getches and James N. Corbridge, Jr.

Water organizations in the western United States range from small, traditional acequia associations to large metropolitan water suppliers.

All are feeling the pressures of change in the region--growing urban populations, environmental concerns, and calls for public participation.

This year's summer program will examine how water organizations are adapting to these pressures for change. Speakers drawn from urban, agricultural, and community organizations will share their experiences …

Galbreath V. Galbreath, 81-Ca-27 (Blkft. Ct., August 2, 1990), Blackfeet Tribal Court

Court Decisions

In the Blackfeet Trial Court, in a land ownership dispute between a mother and son, where the son made loan payments on land prior to his father's death, the court determined that without documentation of an agreement for the loan or gift of money, and without testimony of disinterested witnesses, the law will presume gratuity. Nelson v. Wilson, 81 Mont. 560, 569; 264 P. 679, 682 (1928). The court reasoned that a person cannot become indebted without their knowledge or consent to debt. Plaintiff did not pay the purchase price for the Real property. The real property will remain the …
