Research Guides on Indian Law: What's in these Guides

The University of New Mexico School of Law Library has an extensive and well-preserved in-house Indian Law Collection, and information on many online resources.  We have five (5) separate research guides on distinct areas within Indian Law.  Choosing one of these five (5) guides will have its own unique tabs across the top.  Use the links below to move between guides, and within the guides. 

These guides are starting points for research in Indian Law at the UNM Law Library.  All guides on Indian Law will include both primary and secondary materials, in both print and electronic formats.  If you have any questions, please contact the Law Library’s  reference desk at (505) 277-0935 or at lawlibrary.unm.edu.
