The Rights of Indians and Tribes: The Authoritative ACLU Guide to Indian and Tribal Rights, Third Edition

This handbook is an essential tool for anyone trying to navigage the maze of Indian Law. It is concise, accurate and well organized. I have recommended it to lawyers and non-lawyers who want to understand the law that defines the rights of Indians and Tribes.

I was very satisfied with my order. When i recieved the book it was just like new without any damge done to it! I would definetly order form this seller again.

This book is far from definitive, but is a good start. If the educational reformers wanted to really make positive change occur, they would find a way to put this book in the hands of every high school government teacher in the United States. Those teachers who actually read it could then be pointed toward the exceptional works that go into more depth by Charles Wilkinson, David Wilkins, Robert A. Williams, Vine Deloria, Jr., Frank Pommersheim, and the definitive Westlaw Casebook, edited by David H. Getches, Wilkinson, and Williams, now in its fourth edition.In teaching American Indian history, I find that I often refer to this little primer, but nearly always have to go beyond it to find out what I need. However, I have found it particularly useful for those on a limited budget who need something that provides a basic overview of the critical areas of the laws affecting Native peoples and Indian tribes.

This book should be required for all young Indian students interested in preserving tribal rights and customs. It is a quick and easy to read reference for class and personal use. Anyone (including non-Indians) interested in learning about tribal reserved treaty rights needs to read this book.

Eye opening outline of United States policy concerning the American Indian. The perfect quick reference guide. Includes a historical reference from colonial American and continues through current legislation.
