Bethany Berger on Race, Descent, and Tribal Membership

Bethany Berger has published “Race, Descent, and Tribal Membership” (PDF) in the California Law Review Circuit. Here is the description:

Connecticut School of Law Professor Bethany R. Berger looks at the relationship between descent-based tribal citizenship requirements and race or racism. She argues that tribal citizenship laws that require Indian or tribal descent are generally neither the product nor the source of racism in federal Indian law and policy, and instead are moral, legal, and consistent with federal and international norms.
