Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In January of 1959 the United States Supreme Court, in the case of Williams v. Lee, reaffirmed the right of jurisdiction of tribal courts - as opposed to state courts - when civil or criminal actions are brought against reservation Indian defendants. The considerable interest and attention which this decision created has brought to light once more the general lack of understanding of the legal and political position of reservation Indians. The following report by Jerry Angle, a senior student in the University of Arizona College of Law, has been prepared in an attempt to pull together in a single short study the various legal and technical aspects of the problem."
