Summary
Marshalling Past and Present: provides an introduction to the Marshall Trilogy, the foundational set of Indian law Supreme Court opinions. These cases announced a presumption that while Congress has plenary power in the area of Indian affairs, that which it has never taken away remains among the inherent power of tribes. Frickey questions whether the modern court is remaining faithful to these principles and explores the implications for Indian country should the presumption of inherent tribal power be eroded.
