Native American Law

The law applicable to Native Americans is one of the most complex of any area of American law. The intersection of aboriginal and tribal law, treaty and constitutional law, federal law, and state law creates a sometimes-tangled legal web that vitally affects the day-to-day lives of all those living in or associated with "Indian country." Native American Law does not just encompass the relationship between Indian tribes and the federal government; but, increasingly, matters pertaining to gaming law, tax law, natural resource law, environmental law, and water law have come to define this area of legal representation.

Therefore, a law firm skilled both in traditional areas of Native American law and these other areas is vital to adequately represent either an Indian tribe or persons having dealings with a tribe. A decision or stand of a tribe often has legal ramifications that affects hundreds or perhaps thousands of members in fundamental ways. Tribes and their members, as well as all those who have legal relationships with them, must have a lawyer who understands the complexity of Native American law. Equally vital, they must have a lawyer who has sympathy for their fundamental needs and how best to represent them. We have both that expertise and that interest and concern.
