Zuni and the Courts A Struggle for Sovereign Land Rights

Three decades ago - years after most tribes had filed land claims - the Zuni initiated legal battles related to aboriginal claims, rights, and use that few experts thought they could win. Yet by 1991 they had achieved three major victories. Providing a new overview of these cases and Zuni history, Richard Hart has gathered together essays written by many of those who testified for the Zuni - historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and scientists - as well as commentary from the tribe's lawyers. The authors simplify the complex nature of the testimony, making it accessible to a wide audience.Hart, E. Richard is the author of 'Zuni and the Courts A Struggle for Sovereign Land Rights', published 1995 under ISBN 9780700607051 and ISBN 0700607056.
