Indian Land and the Law
Law

There are few issues more important to Indian tribes than the status of Indian land. Today, more than ever, tribal governments must contend with significant questions and federal policies concerning the use and alienation of Indian land. The trust status of tribal land, tribal zoning rights, taxation and tribal land claims are all issues that are generally settled by the courts, but it takes a thorough understanding of federal policies protecting tribal rights to ensure that tribal interests are protected.

This three-day course offers a comprehensive view of current federal policies regarding Indian land. We’ll cover the relationships of tribal, state and federal governments, the federal process for taking land into trust, as well as an historic overview of how current protections for Indian land originated.
