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.
