Abstract
As the first of a three-part series reviewing the complexities of criminal jurisdiction over Indians and Indian lands, this Article surveys the historical development of such jurisdiction. To provide an understanding of the complex interrelationships between the sources of jurisdictional law the author examines the early treaty arrangements, subsequent congressional legislation superseding the treaty provisions, and early Supreme Court decisions which shaped the contours of criminal jurisdiction over Indian lands.
