The Rights of Indians and Tribes explains Federal Indian Law in a conversational manner, yet is highly authoritative, containing over 2000 footnotes with citations to relevant court decisions, statutes, and agency regulations. Since its initial publication in 1983 it has sold over 125,000 copies. It is user-friendly and particularly helpful for tribal advocates, students, government officials, lawyers, and members of the general public.

The book uses a question-and-answer format and covers every important subject impacting Indians and tribes today and discusses which governments-tribal, state, and federal-have authority on Indian reservations. This fully-updated fifth edition provides a Foreword by John Echohawk, Director of the Native American Rights Fund, and covers the most significant legal issues facing Indians and Indian tribes. This includes the regulation of non-Indians on reservations, definitions of important legal terms, Indian treaties, the Indian Civil Rights Act, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and the Indian Child Welfare Act.

Stephen L. Pevar served on the national legal staff of the American Civil Liberties Union for 45 years and has litigated more than 175 cases on a broad range of civil liberties issues throughout the United States. From 1971-1974, Mr. Pevar was a Legal Services attorney on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He taught Federal Indian Law for 16 years at the University of Denver School of Law, and later at NYU Law School. He currently teaches an Indigenous justice course at Yale Law School.
