Auteur de In the Courts of the Conqueror: The 10 Worst Indian Law Cases Ever Decided
A propos de l'auteur
Echo-Hawk analyzes ten cases that embody or expose the roots of injustice and highlight the use of nefarious legal doctrines. He delves into the dark side of the courts, calling for a paradigm shift in American legal thinking. Each case study includes historical, contemporary, and political context afficher plus from a Native American perspective and the case's legacy on Native America. In the Courts of the Conqueror is a comprehensive history of Indian Country from a new and unique viewpoint, and it is a vital contribution to American history. Walter R. Echo-Hawk (Pawnee) is of counsel to the Crowe Dunlevy law firm of Oklahoma. As a staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund for thirty-five years, he represented tribes and Native Americans on significant legal issues during the modern era of federal Indian law. In addition to litigation, he worked on major legislation, such as the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and federal religious freedom legislation. He is a prolific writer whose books include the award-winning Battlefields and Burial Grounds. Bunky Echo-Hawk (Pawnee/Yakama) is an internationally known artist.

In The Courts of the Conqueror: The 10 Worst Indian… par Walter R. Echo-Hawk
Echo-Hawk's book is a perfect introduction for anyone interested in learning about federal Indian policy. He uses language which is easily understood and does an effective job weaving his own personal stories and experiences as a lawyer into the factual discussion of these ten court cases. I also recommend this to anyone who is already familiar with federal Indian law.
½I started reading this book because it features stories and insights from some of my professional mentors (Bryant Rogers - I'm talking to you) and colleagues. Walter Echo-Hawk is an amazingly gifted writer but reading this at my already-too-late bedtime is simply not doable. At some point, when the boy is happily engaged in projects that will not require my attention and assistance, I will pick it up again to finish.
