US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor: Lessons from the Third Sovereign (1977) “Today in the United State, we have three types of sovereign entities -- the Federal Government, the States, and the Indian tribes. Each of the three sovereigns has its own judicial system, and each plays an important role in administration of justice in this country. Tribal law is becoming increasingly important as more than 560 sovereign Indian nations and Alaska Native Villages exercise their powers. As evidenced by the literature and language in recently amended tribal codes and constitutions, many tribes seem to be revisiting historical methods of handling disputes and are formalizing or incorporating traditional and customary law into their legal frameworks.”
