For generations, Indian people suffered a grinding poverty and
political and cultural suppression on the reservations. But
tenacious and visionary tribal leaders refused to give in. They
knew their rights and insisted that the treaties be honored.
Against all odds, beginning shortly after World War II, they began
to succeed. "Blood Struggle" explores how Indian tribes took their
hard-earned sovereignty and put it to work for Indian peoples and
the perpetuation of Indian culture. This is the story of wrongs
righted and noble ideals upheld: the modern tribal sovereignty
movement deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as the civil
rights, environmental, and women s movements."
This casebook is the authoritative introduction to public land and
resources law. The eighth edition is completely updated, including
thorough revisions of all chapters, considerable streamlining, and
many new principal cases. The new edition increases emphasis on
climate change, renewable energy, social justice (especially as it
relates to Native Americans), Alaskan public lands, and other
topics of contemporary interest. Professor Fischman's website
law.indiana.edu/publicland/ uses the casebook outline to post new
developments and supplemental materials. Readers will find there a
rich assortment of supplemental materials such as maps and links to
administrative records that can serve as research guides for
students preparing papers.
This federal Indian law casebook has an unprecedented focus on
Native Nation-building, including cutting-edge materials on tribal
economies and tribal justice systems unavailable elsewhere. The
Seventh Edition retains classic material on the history of federal
Indian law and policy, including the medieval origins of the
"Doctrine of Discovery," and the shifting eras of Indian law
leading to the current Nation-building era. The book covers the
federal tribal relationship; tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction;
Indian religion and culture; water rights; treaty rights; rights of
Alaska natives and native Hawaiians; and international legal
perspectives.
This is a compilation that contains the major statutes affecting
federal public land and resources law. Though keyed to Coggins,
Wilkinson, Leshy & Fischman's Federal Public Land and Resources
Law, it can be used with any other casebook on the subject. The new
2014 Statutory Supplement broadens coverage in parallel with the
new edition of the casebook. It now includes the Federal Power Act,
the Geothermal Resources Act, the National Marine Sanctuaries Act,
and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
In 1959, the Supreme Court ushered in a new era of Indian law,
which recognizes Indian tribes as permanent governments within the
federal constitutional system and, on the whole, honors old
promises to the Indians. Drawing together historical sources such
as the records of treaty negotiations with the Indians, classic
political theory on the nature of sovereignty, and anthropological
studies of societal change, Wilkinson evaluates the Court's work in
Indian law over the past twenty five years and considers the
effects of time on law.
