Two new books on the state of Native American Nations
Two new books discuss the state of Native American Nations. American Indian Nations: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow discusses myriad topics from tribal nationalism to educational initiatives and challenges. Several chapters address environmental issues, voting rights and the Native media. NARF Staff Attorney Walter Echo-Hawk, Jr. wrote the chapter titled "An Overview and Patterns in Federal Indian Law."
From the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development comes the book The State of the Native Nations: Conditions Under U.S. Policies of Self-Determination. The book covers tribal government and jurisdiction; relations between tribal governments and federal and state governments; and topics such as the environment, gaming, health, culture, and education.
For researchers, the library recommends these books and others listed at http://www.narf.org/nill/resources/basicguide.htm

How to Build a Tribal Legal History
The library hosts a new web site tool: "How to Build a Tribal Legal History"
"Every American Indian tribe and Alaska Native village has a unique legal history. As self-governing sovereigns, these entities are empowered to develop and implement their own internal laws and legal systems."
Created by Nancy Carol Carter -- Professor of Law and Director of the Pardee Legal Research Center, University of San Diego School of Law -- this new web resource tool describes a step-by-step process for finding the documents needed to build a tribal legal history. At each of the five steps, researchers are guided to the most authoritative electronic and print sources, offering alternative sources when available. The project was supported by an American Association of Law Libraries, Lexis/Nexis Research Grant. Professor Carter has written extensively on on Native American law. Comments, corrections, and suggestions are invited. ncc@sandiego.edu
