Abstract
The second in a three-part series analyzing the complex criminal jurisdictional relationships between the federal government, the Indian tribes, and the individual states, this Article focuses on the maze of statutory provisions that define those relationships. The author explores the general jurisdictional scheme present on Indian lands, as well as the many judicially and legislatively created exceptions to that scheme. Particular attention is given to the checkerboard pattern of criminal jurisdiction in Indian country, the problems of multiple prosecution caused by the overlap inherent in the numerous statutes governing these lands and people, and the difficulty in adequately policing the reservations.
