PUZZLING POWERS: OVERLAPPING JURISDICTIONS OF INDIAN TRIBES, THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN "INDIAN COUNTRY" by Lynn H. Slade Modrall, Sperling, Roehl, Harris & Sisk, Introduction The jurisdictional uncertainty complicating minerals development in Indian country is not because there are too few Indian laws. Through treaties, statutes, executive orders, and regulations, the United States has laid down hundreds, even thousands of rules and standards addressing not only specific matters with respect to a single tribe, but also generally applicable standards addressing leasing, permitting, and scores of other subjects regarding indians generally. But Congress and the executive have not resolved the central questions governing the allocation of regulatory, taxing, and judicial jurisdiction among the sovereigns competing in Indian country today for those powers (1).
