Lovelock-Cave-Back-Country-Byway
Back Country Byways . An Invitation to Discover There is an axiom among seasoned travelers advising that the best way to get to know a new place is to get off the highway and visit the back roads, the side trails and the hidden, out-of-the-way corners where the true qualities wait to be discovered. The same axiom holds true for America’s public lands, the vast reaches of our nation that are all too often seen only from the windows of speeding cars or the tiny portholes of airliners. The Bureau of Land Management, America’s largest land managing agency, is providing an exciting opportunity for more Americans to get to know their lands by getting off the main roads for leisurely trips on a series of roads and trails being dedicated as Back Country Byways. The Back Country Byways Program, an outgrowth of the national Scenic Byways Program, is designed to encourage greater use of these existing back roads through greater public awareness. The system is BUREAUREAU OOFF LANDLAND MANMANAGEMENTGEMENT expected to expand to 100 roads when completed. In Nevada, each byway has a character and beauty of its own, taking travelers through scenery that is uniquely Nevadan, into historic areas that helped shape our state and near areas that have been largely untouched by man. They can see the multiple uses of their lands and come to a greater awareness of the need for the conservation and wise use of these resources. And all this can be accomplished at little cost to the taxpayer. Because the roads are already in place, only interpretive signs and limited facilities are needed to better serve the public. -
PICH Awardee Impact Statements
PICH Awardee Impact Statements Background The Partnership to Improve Community Health (PICH) initiative funded 29 communities from FY2014 through FY2017 to reduce chronic disease risk factors. Awardees implemented evidence-based policy, system, and environmental interventions to improve nutrition and physical activity, reduce tobacco use and exposure, and strengthen community-clinical linkages. PICH awardee impact statements describe the short-term impacts of the PICH initiative. These impact statements were created using data from awardee Community Action Plans, awardee Progress Reports, and census data. All data were reviewed for clarity and potential duplicate reporting. Impact statements were created during two timeframes: 2016 and 2017. Each awardee has at least two impact statements; if there were additional data, additional impact statements were developed. Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board, Inc. (Arizona) Nutrition As of September 2017, Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board, Inc. increased access to healthy food and beverages for an estimated 59,838 Native American residents in Arizona. PICH staff supported the development of 23 farmers’ markets. To increase interest among vendors and address the misperception that farmers’ markets are for vendors who sell surplus vegetables at a low cost, PICH staff set up trainings and recruited farmers, growers, and partners to participate. Community Health Workers (CHWs) were used to find partners, organize markets, set schedules, and get community input and support. PICH staff conducted surveys at farmers’ markets and each market included a cultural component coupled with a public health component consisting of healthy living messages, eating/eating healthy, and taking care of oneself. They also invited local health related resources to participate and they assisted with outreach, public information, educations, and demonstrations. -
American Indian Law Journal
American Indian Law Journal Volume III, Issue II • Spring 2015 “The Spirit of Justice” by Artist Terrance Guardipee Supported by the Center for Indian Law & Policy SPIRIT OF JUSTICE Terrence Guardipee and Catherine Black Horse donated this original work of art to the Center for Indian Law and Policy in November 2012 in appreciation for the work the Center engages in on behalf of Indian and Native peoples throughout the United States, including educating and training a new generation of lawyers to carry on the struggle for justice. The piece was created by Mr. Guardipee, who is from the Blackfeet Tribe in Montana and is known all over the country and internationally for his amazing ledger map collage paintings and other works of art. He was among the very first artists to revive the ledger art tradition and in the process has made it into his own map collage concept. These works of art incorporate traditional Blackfeet images into Mr. Guardipee’s contemporary form of ledger art. He attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in Sante Fe, New Mexico. His work has won top awards at the Santa Fe Market, the Heard Museum Indian Market, and the Autrey Museum Intertribal Market Place. He also has been featured a featured artists at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., along with the Museum of Natural History in Hanover, Germany, and the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College.

INTRODUCTION This article examines the path, or trajectory,1 of Indian country in California. More precisely, it explores the origin and historical development over the last three centuries of a legal principle and practice under which a particular, protected status has been extended to land areas belonging to and occupied by indigenous peoples in what is now California. The examination shows that ever since the Spanish first established a continuing presence in California in 1769, the governing colonial regime has accorded Indian lands such status. -
Indian Nations Law Update
Indian Nations Law Update September 2009 ■ Vol 4, Issue 9 Federal Appellate Court Rejects State Challenge to Tribe’s Off-Reservation Clean Air Act Authority In State of Michigan v. Environmental Protection Agency and Forest County Potawatomi Community, 2009 WL 2870619 (7th Cir.), the Forest County Potawatomi Community (“Tribe”) had obtained a fi nal ruling from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designating the Tribe’s reservation in Forest County, Wisconsin, as “Class I” for purposes of the Clean Air Act, triggering stricter air quality controls on air pollution in and around the reservation, extending into the State of Michigan. The Tribe negotiated a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Wisconsin governing the exercise of the Brian L. Pierson Tribe’s Class I authority relative to off-reservation emissions. Michigan, by contrast, sued the EPA and (414) 287-9456 the Tribe, challenging the EPA’s Class I redesignation. The district court upheld EPA’s decision and the [email protected] Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affi rmed, holding that (1) Michigan had no standing to challenge the Tribe’s Class I status based on the alleged procedural defect that a Tribal Implementation Plan had not been adopted, (2) EPA’s imposition of standard Class I emission restrictions on Michigan, stricter than those negotiated by Wisconsin under the MOU, was not retaliation from Michigan’s choice to pursue litigation, (3) the parens patriae doctrine pursuant to which states may sue to protect its citizens does not apply to suits against the United States challenging federal laws, and (4) Michigan’s purported uncertainty regarding its compliance obligations was unfounded. -

CONTRARY JURISPRUDENCE: TRIBAL INTERESTS IN NAVIGABLE WATERWAYS BEFORE AND AFTER MONTANA V. UNITED STATES Russel Lawrence Barsh* James Youngblood Henderson** In 1974 the Crow Tribal Council enacted a resolution restricting reser- vation hunting and fishing to tribal members. No distinction was made between lands owned by the tribe or its members and the nearly thirty percent of the reservation area held in fee simple by non-members and the State of Montana. The resolution also purported to govern the Big Horn River, the bed of which the tribe claimed under its 1868 treaty with the United States. ' The State of Montana refused to recognize the tribe's ju- risdiction to enact and enforce this restriction and continued to license non-member hunting and fishing within the reservation. -
The Dependent Indian Community Concept and Tribal/Tribal Member Immunity from State Taxation

For more information, please visit the New Mexico Law Review website: www.lawschool.unm.edu/nmlr INDIAN COUNTRY: THE DEPENDENT INDIAN COMMUNITY CONCEPT AND TRIBAL/TRIBAL MEMBER IMMUNITY FROM STATE TAXATION I. INTRODUCTION This Comment analyzes various judicial tests for determining whether a "dependent Indian community" exists under the federal Indian country statute, 18 U.S.C. section 1151 (1994); suggests an alternative test; and considers the implications of each test for tribal and tribal member immunity from state taxation. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly addressed the question of state authority to tax Indian tribes and tribal members. In several decisions, the Court has articulated the principle that tribal and tribal member immunity from state taxation is limited by the geographic boundaries of a tribe's territory.' For example, in McClanahan v. Arizona State Tax Commission,2 the Court held that a state may not tax an Indian living on a reservation for income earned exclusively on the reservation, unless Congress authorizes such taxation. Since McClanahan, the Supreme Court has extended the presumption against state taxation beyond reservation boundaries to Indian country. -

THE LARGEST PIECES IN THE SMITHSONIAN COLLECTION The buildings of the Smithsonian Institution frame the National Mall. They not only contain impres- sive collections, but serve themselves as icons of great cultural significance. Their forms illustrate the changing styles and sensibilities of America as an evolving nation. Each one represents a specific time in history: the turreted Castle, the majestically domed Natural History Museum, the sky-reflecting Air and Space Museum and the golden, undulating American Indian Museum. Deemed to have exceptional value to the nation, most of these structures are National Historic Landmarks or are included on the National Register of Historic Places, the official roster of our nation’s historic sites. This guide lists first the nine Smithsonian buildings that sit on the National Mall and then five others that lie outside its boundaries. We invite you to explore these treasures and experience our collective history through the largest pieces in the Smithsonian’s collection: its buildings. THE SMITHSONIAN CASTLE Architect: James Renwick Jr. Completion Date: 1855 Style: Medieval Revival Fun Fact: James Smithson, founder of the Smithsonian, is interred in a crypt here. He is the only known person laid to rest on the Mall. The red sandstone Smithsonian Building, commonly called The Castle, was the first home of the fledgling Institution. Robert Dale Owen, chairman of the building committee, advocated a large and showy structure. The future success of the Institution, he believed, depended upon a building that could make “conspicuous the work of the organization.” He argued that a medieval architec- tural style would meet his criteria, with its “lofty charac- ter” and “aspiring lines.” Eight unique, crenellated towers of this richly colored building stand etched against the changing sky.
