Many span the full panoply of law—from criminal, civil, and probate cases, to divorce and environmental disputes.

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.
