Abstract

The field of American Indian law is both incredibly old and new. It is old because Indian law intruded on the deliberations of the Framers way back in 1787, and it is new because there simply was no significant corpus of Indian law scholarship until the 1970s. American Indian law is a growing, dynamic field, subject to enormous complexity and creativity. The founding of a new law journal dedicated to Indian law – Seattle University School of Law’s American Indian Law Journal – compels review of the scholarly field of American Indian law.
