North American Indian Law: A Basic Bibliography
Patrick S. O’Donnell
Department of Philosophy
Santa Barbara City College (2015)
Not a few of the titles here are not about American Indian law as such, but might be
considered indispensable (i.e., provide important historical, sociological,
anthropological, political, or other forms of knowledge) for understanding endogenous
and exogenous variables viewed through emic and etic perspectives that directly or
indirectly influence this or that aspect of Indian law. I welcome suggestions for
additional titles. Some excellent blogs and internet sites are appended to this
compilation. (Thanks to Professor Matthew L.M. Fletcher for some title suggestions.)
