- Title
A DYNAMIC VIEW OF TRIBAL JURISDICTION TO TAX NON-INDIANS.
- Authors
GOLDBERG, CAROLE E.
- Abstract
The article examines the possibility of granting American Indian tribes the power to tax non-Indian entities who want to tap Indian reservations for additional energy sources in the 20th century. However, it says that this would need an alteration of contemporary U.S. political and economic systems related to the allocation of these resources in spite of the "semi-sovereign" status of Indian tribes. The article explores the limitations on the exercise of taxing non-Indians within the U.S. federal political-institutional context by citing an example on the large and energy-rich territory of the Navajo Nation. It explains that the taxation of non-Indians can enable a tribe to become self-sufficient and to eliminate state jurisdiction as well as the trust status.
