A fascinating discussion to include such topics as:
• Gaming and land acquisition outside tribal boundaries.
• Liquor/fireworks/cigarette sales.
• Jurisdiction over crimes – depending on land, victim’s tribal
membership (or not) and perpetrator’s tribal membership
(or not); which of these crimes are prosecuted in state court,
tribal court, or federal court.
• Hunting and fishing and treaty rights.
