Description
Summary:	Explores questions of Indian tribal sovereignty and how Indian tribes fit into the structure of Government established under the Constitution. Reviews the opinions of the Eighth and Ninth Circuits and Supreme Court regarding three court cases, including United States v. Billy Jo Lara, that center around whether or not Indian tribes have inherent authority to assert criminal jurisdiction over nonmember Indians, and whether Indian tribes and the Federal government can prosecute nonmember defendants for the same on-reservation crime without violating the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
