Summary
"The Rights of Indians and Tribes is the most popular resource in the field of Federal Indian Law and has sold over 125,000 copies since it was first published in 1983. This user-friendly book ex-plains Federal Indian Law in a conversational manner, yet is highly authoritative, containing over 2000 footnotes with citation to relevant court decisions, statutes, and agency regulations. It is 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 sub-ject impacting Indians and tribes today, including tribal sovereignty, the federal trust responsibil-ity, treaties, taxation, criminal and civil authority, water rights, hunting and fishing rights, the In-dian Child Welfare Act, and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. This fully-updated edition pro-vides a Foreword by John Echohawk, Director of the Native American Rights Fund"-- Provided by publisher.
