America Indian culture and traditions have survived an unusual
amount of oppressive federal and state educational policies
intended to assimilate Indian people and destroy their cultures and
languages. Yet, Indian culture, traditions, and people often
continue to be treated as objects in the classroom and in the
curriculum. Using a critical race theory framework and a unique
"counternarrative" methodology, American Indian Education explores
a host of modern educational issues facing American Indian
peoples-from the impact of Indian sports mascots on students and
communities, to the uses and abuses of law that often never reach a
courtroom, and the intergenerational impacts of American Indian
education policy on Indian children today. By interweaving
empirical research with accessible composite narratives, Matthew
Fletcher breaches the gap between solid educational policy and the
on-the-ground reality of Indian students, highlighting the
challenges faced by American Indian students and paving the way for
an honest discussion about solutions.

Fletcher's Hornbook on Federal Indian Law is a deep survey of the
history and substantive law governing the relations between the
three American sovereigns, federal, state, and tribal. Interwoven
are issues of federalism, administrative law, constitutional
rights, and international relations. This hornbook includes
original research and novel analysis of foundational Supreme Court
decisions and critical federal statutory schemes - the stories
beyond the stories. In addition to delving into the origins and
histories of cases and statutes, the hornbook analyzes modern
Indian rights settlements, the international and comparative
frontiers of Indian law, and the future of the field.
Fletcher's Principles of Federal Indian Law covers the basics of
federal Indian law, the relationships between tribal, state, and
federal sovereigns, also touching on federalism, agency law, civil
rights, and criminal jurisdiction aspects of Indian law. This
concise hornbook offers comprehensive coverage of the blackletter
law, with statutory, regulatory, and historical context. The
origins behind important doctrines of Indian law and critical
statutes are explored in detail. This book is a useful introduction
to the field for both students and practitioners.
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.
