Understanding Tribal Sovereignty: An Essential Primer for Productive Native American Relations
BB&K’s Ellen Grover and Josh Newton Discuss American Indian Tribal Sovereignty in Municipal Lawyer Magazine
Best Best & Krieger LLP Partners Ellen Grover and Josh Newton are featured in the November/December 2022 edition of Municipal Lawyer, a publication of the International Municipal Lawyers Association.
The United States recognizes nearly 600 tribes in more than 30 states and tribal sovereignty is protected in the U.S. Constitution, but local governments often lack a general knowledge of tribes’ culture and legal status. In their piece, “Understanding Tribal Sovereignty: An Essential Primer for Productive Native American Relations,” Grover and Newton address the history of recognition of tribal sovereignty, tribal self-determination and self-governance, government-to-government relations with tribes, civil and criminal jurisdictional issues, taxation and other contemporary issues.
