Nearly every American Indian tribe has its own laws and courts. Taken together, these courts decide thousands of cases. Many span the full panoply of law, from criminal, civil, and probate cases to divorce and environmental disputes. The Third Edition of American Indian Tribal Law surveys the full spectrum of tribal justice systems. With cases, notes, and historical context, this text is ideal for courses on American Indian Law or Tribal Governments, and an essential orientation to legal practice within tribal jurisdictions.

New to the Third Edition:
  • New materials on Anishinaabe jurisprudence
  • Additional materials on tribal laws incorporating Indigenous language and culture
  • Recent and noteworthy cases from tribal courts
  • Additional examples from tribal justice systems and practice

Professors and students will benefit from:
  • A broad survey of dispute resolution systems within tribal jurisdictions
  • A review of recent flashpoints in tribal law
  • Cases and material reflecting a wide range of American Indian tribes and legal issues
  • Excerpts and commentary from a wellspring of current scholarship
