The Rights of Indians and Tribes

Abstract

Abstract The Rights of Indians and Tribes is the most popular book in the field of federal Indian law and has sold over 150,000 copies since it was first published in 1983. This user-friendly book explains federal Indian law in a conversational manner, yet is highly authoritative, containing over two thousand footnotes with citations to relevant court decisions, statutes, and agency regulations. It is helpful for tribal advocates, students, government officials, lawyers, and members of the general public. The book uses a question-and-answer format and covers every important subject impacting Indians and tribes today, including tribal sovereignty, the federal trust responsibility, treaties, taxation, criminal and civil authority, water rights, hunting and fishing rights, the Indian Child Welfare Act, and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. This fully updated edition provides a Foreword by John Echohawk, Director of the Native American Rights Fund.
