We are pleased to announce that our newest
textbook, "Sharing
our Stories of Survival: Native Women Surviving Violence" is now available for
purchase through AltaMira Press. This textbook has been funded through a grant from the
Office on Violence Against Women.
Sharing
our Stories of Survival: Native Women Surviving Violence is a
general introduction to the social and legal issues involved in acts of
violence against Native women, this book's contributors are lawyers,
advocates, social workers, social scientists, writers, poets, and
victims. In the U.S. Native women are more likely than women from any
other group to suffer violence, from rape and battery to more subtle
forms of abuse, and Sharing Our Stories of Survival
explores the causes and consequences of such behavior. The stories and
case-studies presented here are often painful and raw, and the
statistics are overwhelmingly grim; but a countervailing theme also runs
through this extremely informative volume: Many of the women who appear
in these pages are survivors, often strengthened by their travails, and
the violence examined here is human violence, meaning that it can be
changed, if only with much effort and education. The first step is to
lay out the truth for all to see, and that is the purpose accomplished
by this book. To order, call 800-462-6420 or visit

Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure examines the complex subject of tribal criminal law and procedure from a
tribal perspective—utilizing tribal statutory law, tribal case law, and
the cultural values of Native peoples. Garrow and Deer discuss in depth
the histories, structures and practices of tribal justice systems,
comparisons of traditional tribal justice with Anglo-American law and
jurisdictions, elements of criminal law and procedure, and alternative
sentencing and traditional sanctions. Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure
will be an invaluable resource for legal scholars and students. To
