LAW 9590 - Federal Indian Law

Covers law related to representation of tribes as well as representation of state and local governments or businesses that may do business with tribes. After briefly examining the history of Indian tribes in the United States, students will learn about the trust relationship between the United States and recognized Indian tribes, tribal property rights, and the complexities of determining the applicability of tribal, state, and federal jurisdiction within Indian lands. As time permits, tribal water rights, treaty hunting and fishing rights, and Indian gaming law will also be examined.
