Frequency of
Updates: Research
is performed each business day to identify new articles. Every
week, the bulletin will be replaced with new news stories. Email alerts
will be sent out on the same day as new information is published to the web
site. All older information will be stored in the bulletin archives.
Selection
Policy & Process: The National Indian Law Library (NILL)
endeavors to retrieve important articles which deal with a federal
Indian law issue. (By "Indian law" we mean materials that deal with
the "status of the Indian tribes and their special relationship to
the federal government, with all the attendant consequences for the
tribes and their members, the states and their citizens, and the
federal government" as defined by Judge William Canby, Jr., a well-respected
Indian law scholar (Canby, William C., Jr. American Indian Law
in a Nutshell, 3rd ed. St. Paul, Minn: West Group, 1998).)
We locate stories using the Llesiant news service as well as the Google News Alert service. We also monitor the
following web sites to locate identify new Indian law articles. These
web sites may not contain all articles and the research strategy may
not identify every article in the web sites. During this process, the
non-attorney library staff uses its judgment as to which articles should
be included in the bulletin. Therefore, this bulletin should not be
considered an exhaustive list of articles, should not substitute for
independent research and does not constitute legal advice.
The priority
for article selection relates to the Native
American Rights Fund mission/priorities
Articles
involving Native Americans but not related to Indian law are generally
excluded.

Searching & Browsing
Tips: Articles are listed in reverse chronological order by topic.
Topics are arranged alphabetically. Only the current week's list
of articles will appear on the "current" bulletin.
All other article citations can be located on the "archives" page.
Monthly, annual and multi-year archives will be developed in the
future, and basic search features will
be added. Article links in the archives may not work or may require
registration and/or payment for access.
Persistent Links: We understand that the links to the full-text articles may not remain persistent or operational over time. We do not remove the articles with broken links as the stories are often available from other news databases available on the Internet or via public libraries. Contact the National Indian Law Library if you need help fidning a copy of an article for which the link is broken.
Indexing: Articles
are indexed under broad topics by the, NILL Library Technician.
Archiving: Aannual, archives are
available.
