Review
Richland and Deer have put together an indispensible resource for those working with tribal communities. With a particular focus on strengthening Native governments through methods consistent with indigenous values and understandings, this text will undoubtedly become a 'go to' resource for anyone concerned with Native sovereignty and tribal legal institutions. (Angela R. Riley, UCLA American Indian Studies Center)
Introduction to Tribal Legal Studies is an indispensible resource for scholars, practitioners, and students, and well-deserving of an update. Richland and Deer approach tribal law, a fast-growing and cutting-edge field, with intellectual rigor with respect to the educational aspects of the law and with understanding and respect to Indian culture, language, and traditions. It is unusual for a legal work to practice what the Anishinaabek call Mino-Bimaadziwin, walking the good road and living a good life, and this book is a testament to their dedication to Indian people. (Matthew L.M. Fletcher, associate professor of law; Director of the Indigenous Law and Policy Center, Michigan State University College of Law)
