Meet Angelique EagleWoman

(Wambdi一. WasteWin)

2008年秋天, Angelique EagleWoman began teaching at the law school in her primary area of expertise, 印第安人法.  Prior to joining the bet365亚洲官网 法学院 faculty, she taught in a one-year visitor joint appointment at the University of Kansas School of 法律 and the Indigenous Studies graduate program, and prior to that at the Hamline University School of 法律. As a practicing attorney, highlights of Angelique's career included serving as General Counsel to her Tribe, the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the Lake Traverse Reservation; working at an appellate specialty firm in Washington D.C. for tribal interests; serving as the Public Defender for two Tribes in Oklahoma; and appointment on a Pro Tem basis for several Tribal District and Appellate Courts.

Building on prior course offerings and student interest, Professor EagleWoman developed the 本土法律课程 as comprised of four components: an academic 印第安人法 Emphasis; her faculty presentations and scholarship; the 印第安人法 Student Association (NALSA); and strong positive relationships with the Tribal Nations in Idaho. 除了al to directing the 本地法律 Program, Angelique is included in the faculty cohort for the 自然资源 and 环境法律 Program.

She teaches the 印第安人法 curriculum courses: 印第安人法, and Native American 自然资源 法律 and Tribal Nation Economics & 法律.  除了, Professor EagleWoman is a frequent guest speaker in courses across the University curriculum on 本地法律 topics and at national conferences. All of the 本地法律 courses are also available to non-law students on the bet365亚洲官网 campus through the American Indian Studies program on a pass/fail basis to promote legal educational opportunities beyond the law school.   Her recently published book, Mastering American Indian 法律 (co-authored with Stacy Leeds), provides a readable text on the complexities that form the doctrines developed in the relationship between Tribal 法律, 联邦印第安人法, and international Indigenous legal principles.

In the field of 印第安人法, Professor EagleWoman has written extensively in two primary areas: the legal aspects of Tribal Economics and the advancement of international Indigenous legal principles. Her scholarship spans topics on the Tribalist Economic Theory, which she proposed as a value-based framework for contemporary economic development to examining 联邦印第安人法 policies that have served to cast tribal peoples into intergenerational poverty along with proposing major U.S. policy reforms to alleviate such conditions. Further, she has focused on the original Tribal-U.S. relationships established under international legal agreements to advocate for a contemporary readjustment incorporating international human rights norms and self-determination principles.
