Action Brought to Determine Whether the Laws of the State of New York Were Operative Over the Prisoners, Tribal Indians of the Seneca Nation; Volume 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175442352)

This volume documents an action brought to determine whether the laws of the State of New York were operative over the prisoners, tribal Indians of the Seneca Nation. Presented by Frederick W. Becker, as sheriff of Erie County, N.Y., this legal case explores complex questions of tribal sovereignty and the extent to which state law can be applied to Native American populations. The historical and legal context of this case provides valuable insights into the relationship between state and tribal legal systems. This historical legal document offers a crucial perspective on Native American legal issues and constitutional law.
