Registering Offense: The Prohibition Of Slurs As Trademarks, Christine Haight Farley 2015 American University Washington College of Law

Registering Offense: The Prohibition Of Slurs As Trademarks, Christine Haight Farley

Contributions to Books

Since 1967, Pro-Football has registered six marks that include the term “redskins,” a derogatory racial epithet that refers to Native Americans. The use of disparaging marks dates back to the 19th century when brands commercialized racial stereotypes, such as Aunt Jemima. Today, offensive marks, including those that ridicule race, ethnicity, gender and religion are proliferating prompting the question of what role trademark law plays in protecting the interests of diverse communities. Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act prohibits the registration of marks that consist of matter that may disparage or bring into contempt or disrepute any person, institution, or belief. …

The Obsolete Theory Of Crown Unity In Canada And Its Relevance To Indigenous Claims, Kent McNeil 2015 Osgoode Hall Law School of York University

The Obsolete Theory Of Crown Unity In Canada And Its Relevance To Indigenous Claims, Kent Mcneil

Articles & Book Chapters

This article examines the application of the theory of the unity of the Crown in Canada in the context of Indigenous peoples. It reveals a consistent retreat by the courts from acceptance of the theory in the late nineteenth century to rejection of it in the second half of the twentieth century. This evolution of the theory' relevance, it is argued, is consistent with Canada federal structure and eventual independence from the United Kingdom. However, in a startling reversal, the Supreme Court reverted to the theory in its 2014 judgment in Grassy Narrows First Nation v Ontario (Minister of Natural …


Political Possibilities Of Reparations, Ezra Rosser 2015 American University Washington College of Law

Political Possibilities Of Reparations, Ezra Rosser

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This essay is a brief response to Gregory Alexander's article, published by Law and Social Inquiry, that generally argues against land reparations for past wrongs. This response argues that there are political reasons to leave land reparations on the table, focusing on the claims of Native American tribes.


Congress And Indians, Kirsten Matoy Carlson 2015 University of Colorado Law School

Congress And Indians, Kirsten Matoy Carlson

University of Colorado Law Review

Contrary to popular narratives about courts protecting certain minority rights from majoritarian influences, Indian nations lose in the United States Supreme Court over 75 percent of the time. As a result, scholars, tribal leaders, and advocates have suggested that Congress, as opposed to the courts, may be more responsive to Indian interests and have turned to legislative strategies for pursuing and protecting tribal interests. Yet very little is known about the kinds of legislation Congress enacts relating to American Indians. This Article charts new territory in this understudied area and responds to recent calls for more empirical legal studies in …

Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite: The United Nations Declaration Of The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples Fails To Protect Hopi Katsinam From The Auction Block In France, Samantha K. Nikic 2015 Brooklyn Law School

Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite: The United Nations Declaration Of The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples Fails To Protect Hopi Katsinam From The Auction Block In France, Samantha K. Nikic

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) compels member states to take action in order to protect the rights of the world’s 370 million indigenous peoples, including the right to their cultural property. Notwithstanding the UNDRIP’s robust set of protections, its status as a nonbinding piece of international law remains its ultimate and most fatal flaw. France was an enthusiastic supporter of the UNDRIP at ratification, but has effectively abandoned their position. French auction houses and courts have allowed for sales of Native American sacred property to proceed despite the objections of the Hopi Tribe. In …


A Tribute To Vine Deloria, Jr.: An Indigenous Visionary, David E. Wilkins 2015 University of Richmond

A Tribute To Vine Deloria, Jr.: An Indigenous Visionary, David E. Wilkins

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

A Standing Rock Lakota citizen, Deloria was arguably the most intellectually gifted and articulate spokesman for Indigenous nationhood in the twentieth century. He was never quite comfortable with the notion that he was, in fact, the principal champion of tribal nations and their citizens, since he expected that each Native nation and every tribal citizen express confidence in their own distinctive identities, develop their own unique talents, and wield their collective and individual sovereignty in a way that enriched not only their own nations but all those around them as well.

For Deloria, freedom and justice could only be achieved …


The History, Status, And Future Of Tribal Self-Governance Under The Indian Self-Determination And Education Assistance Act, Geoffrey D. Strommer, Stephen D. Osborne 2015 Hobbs, Straus, Dean & Walker

The History, Status, And Future Of Tribal Self-Governance Under The Indian Self-Determination And Education Assistance Act, Geoffrey D. Strommer, Stephen D. Osborne

American Indian Law Review

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (ISDEAA), a cornerstone of modern federal Indian policy. In 1988, amendments to the ISDEAA created the Tribal Self-Governance Demonstration Project. By providing a statutory basis for the broader movement of tribal self-governance, this legislation recognized and advanced the proposition that Indian tribes can provide better governmental services to their own members than can distant federal bureaucracies. Expanded and refined in subsequent legislation in 1994 and 2000, the Self-Governance Policy has proven so successful that today over 50% of all federal Indian programs are carried …
