Abstract

This article was adapted from a roundtable convened to discuss issues regarding full faith and credit between state and tribal court systems.

Tribal sovereignty is often talked about in the abstract, but people are somewhat reluctant to deal with the practical issues that are involved when sovereignty is actually exercised. This discussion looks at some of the practical and political concerns in the governmental relationship between the judicial branches. This area touches the lives of Indian people the most directly and immediately as it impacts the ability of Indian people to do personal business, and business.
