Two New Titles

Two new titles recently caught our attention, and we wanted to share them with you.  One is a new edition of a long-time staff favorite. The other is a new book that we look forward to using here in the library.

Tiller’s Guide to Indian Country: Economic Profiles of American Indian Reservations third edition. Published by BowArrow Publishing.  This unique book, revised in 2015, provides succinct economic, historical, and governmental information compiled from many authoritative sources.

Federal Indian Law hornbook, by Matthew Fletcher. Published by West Academic in 2016. “Fletcher’s Hornbook on Federal Indian Law is a deep survey of the history and substantive law governing the relations between the three American sovereigns, federal, state, and tribal. Interwoven are issues of federalism, administrative law, constitutional rights, and international relations.”
