American Indian Children and the Law: Cases and Materials (Table of Contents)

Abstract

This casebook is the result of years of discussions with Native lawyers, law students, families, tribal leaders, and professors. Because Native children and families continue to be the subject of constant litigation and federal policy changes, this book changed dramatically in the years as it was being written. The actions of federal and state governments against Native children — removing them from their families, culture, language, and communities — has had far ranging implications for generations of families. This casebook discusses the consequences of those
actions and the tribal responses to them.

Keywords: American Indian Children, federal Indian law, tribal law, family law, child welfare law
