In the updated version of his book, former American Civil Liberties Union senior staff attorney Stephen Pevar ’68 dives deep into the complexities of federal Indian law. Pevar specialized in Indian and tribal rights during his 45 years at the ACLU, and he draws on that experience to explain cases that pertain to tribal sovereignty, child custody, and criminal authority in Indian country. The question-and-answer format in The Rights of Indians and Tribes (Oxford University Press) allows readers to approach the complexities of federal Indian law from any level, making the subject material accessible to lawyers, activists, and government officials alike.
