Product Description
This collection of works many by Native American scholars introduces selected topics in federal Indian law. Readings in American Indian Law covers contemporary issues of identity and tribal recognition; reparations for historic harms; the valuation of land in land claims; the return to tribal owners of human remains, sacred items, and cultural property; tribal governance and issues of gender, democracy informed by cultural awareness, and religious freedom.
Courses in federal Indian law are often aimed at understanding rules, not cultural conflicts. This book expands doctrinal discussions into understandings of culture, strategy, history, identity, and hopes for the future. Contributions from law, history, anthropology, ethnohistory, biography, sociology, socio-legal studies, and fiction offer an array of alternative paradigms as strong antidotes to our usual conceptions of federal Indian law.
Each selection reveals an aspect of how federal Indian law is made, interpreted, implemented, or experienced. Throughout, the book centers on the ever present and contentious issue of identity. At the point where identity and law intersect lies an important new way to contextualize the legal concerns of Native Americans.

Reader Reviews
I studied with Jo Carrillo in Law School. She rocks! This book is awesome. Most indian law text books take a "doctrinal" (i.e. boring) approach to the interesting area of indian law. Most legal subjects are taught "doctrinally" although there has been signifigant reform in this area. Jo's approach is more contextual, and deals with a broader range of "issues" not all of which are "legal" issues. Prof. Carrillo studied at Stanford with Lawrence Freidman and with Roberto Unger at N.Y.U. This book is an invaluable resource for graduate students and undergraduates alike who are interested in Native American law and culture. This is a book which hasn't gotten it's just due.
