- Title
Kansas' Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country: Why the Kansas Act [18 U.S.C. § 3243] Is Unnecessary, Outdated, and Unfair.
- Authors
Duma, Michael C.
- Abstract
The article critiques the legislative framework that the Congress has created for crimes committed by Indians in Indian Country in Kansas. It explains the framework known as the Kansas Act gives the state jurisdiction over crimes committed by Indians in Indian Country within the borders of the state. It argues that the Act is a remnant of the termination movement abandoned and replaced with a renewed respect for tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
