General Description:
This course examines and compares the treatment of Indigenous peoples by the legal systems of a sampling of countries in the Western Hemisphere and elsewhere. The course will also compare the foreign legal regimes examined to relevant United States law and to international standards, with the aim of critically assessing the comparative adequacy of U.S. law in this context and exploring potential reforms in U.S. law that might be informed by legal developments in other countries. Students will gain knowledge of the similarities and differences in the foundational characteristics of diverse legal systems and of their histories and political contexts
