Wicazo Sa Review, vol. 4, no. 1, Spring, 1988, pp. 18-23
Description
Illustrates the history of the Sioux Nation and United States government's legal relationship, the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, and the protection of the Black Hills for Sioux people.
Argues that Treaty-making has conformed to a uni-dimensional pattern of avoidance and inaction, but suggests recent Supreme Court of Canada cases will increase pressure on the Crown to live up to its promises.
