Book excerpt: Emerging Issues in Tribal-State Relations is an authoritative, insider's perspective on understanding and improving the interactions between state and local governments and sovereign nations. Featuring state directors of Indian Affairs as well as Indian law attorneys from across the country, this book provides a broad yet comprehensive overview of the challenges tribal, state, and local governments face in operating next door to one another while overcoming legal differences. These leaders provide insight into the most contentious areas of tribal-state relations, including gaming law, revenue sharing, natural resources, tribal property rights, tribal sovereignty, and law enforcement. Additionally, the authors offer their advice on handling differences between state and tribal court systems, respecting cultural traditions, recognizing tribal self government, and successfully partnering with tribes to establish mutually beneficial relationships. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds in tribal affairs and Indian law today, as these experts reveal the keys to building and maintaining positive rapport with Indian tribes across the country.
