Arguing with Tradition

The Language of Law in Hopi Tribal Court

Beschreibung

Like many indigenous legal institutions across North America, the Hopi Tribal Court was created in the image of Anglo-American law. This work shows that Hopi jurists and litigants have called for their courts to develop a jurisprudence that better reflect Hopi culture and traditions.
