Summary
This famous Indian law case concluded that tribal nations lack criminal authority over non-Indians. Two white defendants were charged in Suquamish tribal court for criminal acts at the Suquamish annual Chief Seattle Days celebration. The Court concluded that tribal governments have lost certain attributes of sovereignty pursuant to their dependence on the federal government. This case is ripe for a feminist re-write due the extremely high rates of violence perpetrated by non-Indians against Native women.
