Employment Law
Federal Indian Law is a complex body of law that encompasses the relationships between the Federal government and Indian tribes. It embraces several hundred years of federal policies and interaction with tribes. The sources of federal Indian law include the United States Constitution, treaties with Indian tribes, federal statutes and regulations, executive orders, judicial opinions, and tribal law and history. The Supreme Court has recognized the practice of Federal Indian Law to be one of the most complex areas of law. It is often contradictory to itself because federal policy swings back and forth, sometimes supportive of tribal sovereignty and sometimes not.
