  • Utilizing Dignity Rights to Further Tribal Prerogatives: the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware
    Utilizing Dignity Rights to Further Tribal Prerogatives: The Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware Dean Roland Dignity Rights Practicum Delaware Law Spring 2017 Professors Daly & May For the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware QUESTION PRESENTED What new rights or benefits does the recent state recognition of the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware (the “Lenape”) bestow upon the Lenape and how can the recent recognition of dignity rights in American jurisprudence help further tribal prerogatives? BRIEF ANSWER State recognition of the Lenape has limited benefits such as access to federal and state funding, qualifying as an Indian Tribe under various statutes, and a recognition of the Lenape’s inherent dignity and longstanding presence within a state. Courts around the world along with local and national governments have found an inherent or implied right to dignity within the right to life and liberty. The Delaware Constitution expressly acknowledges a right to life and liberty. The right to dignity, which is implied in the Delaware Constitution, fills the gaps that state recognition fails to address. This paper will analyze how dignity can be used as a means of seeking redress for an infringed upon right to better the Lenape’s way of life. INTRODUCTION The Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware (the “Lenape”) resided in the coastal regions of Delaware and Pennsylvania for hundreds of years before European contact. The tribe, along with the other tribes of the present day United States, lived their lives free with dignity to move freely over the land and use the resources that the earth provided them. European contact had a profound impact on the Native’s way of life, not only individuals, but as a distinct group.

DICKINSON LAW REVIEW VOL. 56 THE SUPREME COURT OF DELAWARE, 1900-1952 By PAUL DOLAN* On May 14, 1951, the Delaware General Assembly, by amending the state's constitution,1 created a supreme court composed of justices who only sat in that court. Between 1897 and 1951 the Supreme Court of Delaware consisted of those state judges who had not heard the case below. Thus Delaware was said to use the "left-over judge" system in its final appellate jurisdiction. 2 Since the above-mention- ed amendment the supreme court is manned by three justices appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state senate. These judges are not permitted to serve in the inferior courts. To establish a tribunal of final appeal with personnel unattached to the trial courts was not easy in Delaware. The opposition to this change was obdurate and continuous. It was based primarily on the fact that any change contemplated in governmental arrangements in the state is met with deep suspicion by many seg- ments of the population.
