Description
Federal Indian Law and Policy An Introduction 2nd Edition ISBN 9798895450796
Federal Indian Law and Policy: An Introduction is an accessible and engaging resource designed for students, instructors, and readers without a legal background who want to understand the complex legal framework shaping Native American life and governance. The book explores both the historical roots and contemporary developments of federal Indian law, offering essential context for current issues facing Native communities.
Structured in thirty concise, clearly written chapters, the text provides a comprehensive overview of key legal principles, landmark cases, and policy shifts that continue to impact tribal sovereignty, land rights, cultural protection, and more. Whether you're exploring Native America through academic study, teaching, or personal interest, this introduction offers a clear and compelling guide to a dynamic and evolving field of law.
Changes in the New Edition:
The second edition introduces two major updates. First, relevant chapters have been revised to reflect significant legal developments in the field, including updates related to the Indian Child Welfare Act, reservation boundaries and diminishment—most notably the landmark McGirt v. Oklahoma decision—and evolving questions of jurisdiction. Second, each chapter in Unit II now features a new section titled "Tribal Court Perspectives," which presents a tribal court case that aligns with the chapter’s theme. These additions provide readers with a richer, more nuanced understanding of federal Indian law by centering Native legal voices and offering insights into how these issues are interpreted and addressed within tribal justice systems.

Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
