Produced by the Indian Law Section in partnership with State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE®

An intro to Indian Country

Native Americans have lived in what is now known as Wisconsin for thousands of years. Today, 11 federally recognized tribes continue to exercise their inherent sovereignty, and each tribe has its own laws. Legal matters involving tribal governance, treaty rights, and intergovernmental regulations frequently intersect with state and federal law, impacting a wide range of practice areas from land use to family law. Lawyers practicing in Wisconsin should understand how tribal governments and laws operate.

Indian Law 101 offers a comprehensive introduction to federal Indian law, sovereignty, and the legal foundations of tribal governments. Gain valuable insights into the unique legal and governmental structures of Native nations that share geography with Wisconsin, as well as practical guidance for navigating cases involving tribal law.
