xiii, 301 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Crow Dog's Case is the first social history of American Indians' role in the making of American law.

This "century of dishonor," a time when American Indians' lands were lost and their tribes reduced to reservations, provoked a wide variety of tribal responses. Some of the more successful responses were in the area of law, forcing the newly independent American legal order to create a unique place for Indian tribes in American law.
