Description 1 online resource Series Law, Property and Society Law, property and society. Contents Tribal sovereignty and environmental impacts -- Tribal lands -- Tribal environmental protection -- Tribal realism and case studies Summary Annotation Legal and environmental concerns related to Indian law and tribal lands remain an understudied branch of both Indigenous law and environmental law. Native American tribes have a far more complex relationship with the environment than is captured by the stereotype of Indians as environmental stewards. Meaningful tribal sovereignty requires that non-Indians recognize the right of Indians to determine their own relationship to the land and the environment. But tribes do not exist in a vacuum: in fact they are deeply affected by off-reservation activities and, similarly, tribal choices often have effects on nearby communities. This book brings together diverse essays by leading Indian law scholars across the disciplines of Indigenous and environmental law. The chapters reveal the difficulties encountered by Native American tribes in attempts to establish their own environmental standards within federal Indian law and environmental law structures. Gleaning new insights from a focus on tribal land and property law, the collection studies the practice of tribal sovereignty as experienced by Indians and non-Indians, with an emphasis on the development and regulatory challenges these tribes face in the wake of climate change. This volume will advance the reader's knowledge and understanding of these challenging issues Notes Previously issued in print: Farnham: Ashgate, 2012 CIP data; resource not viewed Subject Environmental law -- United States Environmental justice -- United States Indians of North America -- Government relations.
