In his memoir, Alvin Ziontz reflects on his more than thirty years
representing Indian tribes, from a time when Indian law was little
known through landmark battles that upheld tribal sovereignty. He
discusses the growth and maturation of tribal government and the
underlying tensions between Indian society and the non-Indian
world. A Lawyer in Indian Country presents vignettes of reservation
life and recounts some of the memorable legal cases that illustrate
the challenges faced by individual Indians and tribes. As the
senior attorney arguing U.S. v. Washington, Ziontz was a party to
the historic 1974 Boldt decision that affirmed the Pacific
Northwest tribes' treaty fishing rights, with ramifications for
tribal rights nationwide. His work took him to reservations in
Montana, Wyoming, and Minnesota, as well as Washington and Alaska,
and he describes not only the work of a tribal attorney but also
his personal entry into the life of Indian country. Ziontz
continued to fight for tribal rights into the late 1990s, as the
Makah tribe of Washington sought to resume its traditional whale
hunts. Throughout his book, Ziontz traces his own path through this
public history - one man's pursuit of a life built around the
principles of integrity and justice.
