Native American Tribal Constitutions, Laws and Treaties

The Law Library's collection of Native American constitutions and laws has copies of more than half of the titles listed in Lester Hargrett's Bibliography of the constitutions and laws of the American Indians (1947). The collection includes the laws of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Osage, Sac and Fox, and Seneca Nations, as well as the laws of the Indian Territory and the State of Sequoia. Many of the titles are printed in Native American languages. In addition, the collection contains some 45 treaties made between the US Federal government and various tribes, from 1790 onwards.
