Modern Issues of Tribal Sovereignty and Jurisdiction
This month, the Gonzaga Law Review published its first issue devoted to Indian Law, titled Modern Issues of Tribal Sovereignty and Jurisdiction. The issue features professor Joshua Jay Kanassatega’s case for a new application of the abstention doctrine—one in which federal and state courts should dismiss civil actions better left to the courts of the Indian tribes. In a separate piece, Winter King, Eric Shepard, and Rob Roy Smith examine the 2011 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Water Wheel Camp Recreational Area, Inc. v. LaRance. The authors, who served as counsel for the Colorado River Indian Tribes and other amici in Water Wheel, explain that the Ninth Circuit’s decision has reinvigorated the oft-forgotten authority of Indian tribes to assert regulatory and adjudicatory jurisdiction over nonmembers using a tribe’s inherent authority to exclude.
