Page ix Foreword Charles F. Wilkinson Moses Lasky Professor of Law University of Colorado We have come, as Rennard Strickland sees it, to the end of the first generation of modern Indian policy and law. In the late 1960s, Indian people could count only a dozen or so Native lawyers. This lack was debilitating, for law is so critical to Indians. Tribes are covered by literally thousands of federal laws, many of them burdensome, others offering great opportunities. Either way, Indians desperately needed attorneys to bring justice to Indian country. Then, in 1968, Dean Fred Hart and P. Sam Deloria spearheaded the American Indian Law Scholarship Program at the University of New Mexico, featuring a special summer session for Indians about to begin law school. The program, a primary impetus for the burgeoning number of Indian lawyers, helped jump-start modern Indian law, which brought many favorable court decisions and federal statutes. As Strickland emphasizes in this book, Indian law must be judged not on the words of Supreme Court opinions, pleasing though they may read to a lawyer's eye. Rather, the proof lies in how the words are applied in Indian country: have they brought actual good to actual people in Indian country? Judged by that standard, the first generation has done well. Nearly every tribe has made headway, often of historic dimensions, in health, education, housing, the quality of tribal justice and administrative systems, and economic well-being. Serious problems remain, but the progress is palpable.
