Course Description:
This class focuses on a wide range of tribal and individual Indian economic development issues. Relevant federal cases, statutes, regulations, and case studies will be used as background material, but the primary purpose of the class is to describe and analyze the political, legal, economic, structural, and cultural issues faced by tribal governments and communities when they try to develop their economies. Additional emphasis will be placed on how tribal initiatives may conflict with federal case law, state jurisdiction, and federal policies towards tribal economic development. The focus will be on helping identify and implement creative tribal-based solutions. Although the relevant federal Indian case law will be discussed when necessary, having taken a course in Federal Indian law will be helpful.
