Empowering Indigenous futures
Tribal Sovereignty and Indigenous Justice refers to a future shaped by and for Indigenous peoples. This includes the rights of Indigenous peoples to govern themselves, their land and resources, and their culture, creativity and technologies by respecting tribal laws, understanding federal Indian law and developing tools to support Indigenous rights.
ASU Law's Tribal Sovereignty and Indigenous Justice area of expertise merges legal education with training in tribal self-governance while fostering legal and economic innovations in support of tribes across all specializations. Our extensive partnerships and specialized programs are enriched through meaningful collaborations with tribes. Our programs help empower Native communities, champion Indigenous rights and prepare graduates to be future leaders in this important area of expertise.
This area of expertise covers several key aspects including:
- Federal Indian Law and policy
- Intellectual property and cultural resources
- Native voting rights
- Indian gaming and tribal self-governance
- Tribal economic development
