This text will be what students call a keeper, one that goes in the personal library after the course is over. Carrie E. Garrow and Sarah Deer have done for tribal criminal justice what Vine Deloria, Jr. did for tribal religion in God is Red. They have generalized a subject that is nearly impossible to generalize. They draw straight lines from tribal custom to common law as justice-defining institutions.
