American Indians and the Law(ISBN=9780143114789) txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

　　A perfect introduction to a vital subject very few

Americans understand-the constitutional status of American

Indians

Few American s know that Indian tribes have

a legal status unique among America's distinct racial and ethnic

groups: they are sovereign governments who engage in relations with

Congress. This peculiar arrangement has led to frequent legal and

political disputes-indeed, the history of American Indians and

American law has been one of clashing values and sometimes uneasy

compromise. In this clear-sighted account, American Indian scholar

N. Bruce Duthu explains the landmark cases in Indian law of the

past two centuries. Exploring subjects as diverse as jurisdictional

authority, control of environmental resources, and the regulations

that allow the operation of gambling casinos, American Indians

and the Law gives us an accessible entry point into a vital

facet of Indian history.
