The Rights of Indians and Tribes de Stephen L. Pevar

The Rights of Indians and Tribes

Autor Stephen L. Pevar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 2024
The Rights of Indians and Tribes explains Federal Indian Law in a conversational manner, yet is highly authoritative, containing over 2000 footnotes with citations to relevant court decisions, statutes, and agency regulations. Since its initial publication in 1983 it has sold over 125,000 copies. It is user-friendly and particularly 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 and discusses which governments-tribal, state, and federal-have authority on Indian reservations. This fully-updated fifth edition provides a Foreword by John Echohawk, Director of the Native American Rights Fund, and covers the most significant legal issues facing Indians and Indian tribes. This includes the regulation of non-Indians on reservations, definitions of important legal terms, Indian treaties, the Indian Civil Rights Act, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and the Indian Child Welfare Act.
