Native Americans' Civil Rights and Tribal Governments
Contact an Experienced Native Peoples Law Attorney

Content: Rights to speech, assembly, press, and religion,
Rights against unreasonable searches and seizures,
Rights against double jeopardy,
Freedom from self-incrimination,
Right to a speedy and public criminal trial,
Right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment,
Right to equal protection of the law and due process, and
Right to a trial by jury. However, unlike with other federal civil rights laws, the Department of Justice has little authority to enforce the provisions of the ICRA over tribal governments. Consequently, tribal governments are free to make their own laws that have the practical effect of limiting these rights. Contact an Experienced Native Peoples Law Attorney
