Description

American Indian Law: Cases and Commentary 5th Edition Robert T. Anderson ISBN 9781685612207

This casebook offers a comprehensive and historically grounded examination of American Indian law, focusing on the complex legal relationships among American Indian tribes, their citizens, the federal government, the states, and other actors. It traces the European colonization process that laid the foundation for the federal–tribal relationship and situates contemporary doctrine within that historical framework.

The book integrates the U.S. Supreme Court’s foundational cases with statutory text, historical background, hypotheticals, and discussion problems designed to structure classroom engagement and deepen student understanding. Recognizing that history is essential to understanding American Indian law as it exists today, the authors consistently explain how historical developments continue to shape modern legal doctrine.

The fifth edition expands coverage of law enforcement and public safety in Indian country, the Indian Child Welfare Act, tribal water rights, and the distinct legal regimes governing Hawaii and Alaska. It also addresses recent Executive Branch actions that enhance tribal authority. To ensure continued currency, the authors provide an annual supplement following the conclusion of each Supreme Court term.
