diggInternet portal connects tribal leaders
The University of Arizona College of Law is using the Internet to connect tribal leaders, attorneys, judges and college students to information regarding Native American sovereignty and research.
A new Web portal designed to promote nation building among Native American communities has unveiled the first in a series of distance learning modules designed for tribal leaders.
ArizonaNativeNet is the only program of its kind in the country. The Web-based project fills the need for information about Indian law and governance, as well as providing information in other areas of concern including health, education, breaking news, employment and grant opportunities and a calendar of events.
The first module covers the Marshall Trilogy, the trust doctrine, tribal sovereignty and the European Law of Nations, among other topics.
Video clips, images, maps and supplemental reading materials are included to appeal to those with a general interest in learning the history and development of Federal Indian Law.
The site can be accessed at www.arizonanativenet.com/. For info, contact Erica DeFrain, project manager, at (5200 626-4342 or via e-mail at erica.defrain@law.arizona.edu.
