Book Description
The "Indians of Coo-yu-ee-Pah" by Nellie Shaw Harnar is essential to understand the history of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and Nevada. Nellie was born in Wadsworth, Nevada located within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. Nellie grew up as a fluent speaker of the Numu language and learned the traditions and history of the tribe from the elders. She attended the Stewart Indian School as a young child and went on to receive her master's degree in teaching from the University of Nevada, Reno. As a teacher at the Stewart Indian School, she helped indigenous students learn about their culture while also coaching basketball and being an active member of the community. She offers a unique insight into the history of the tribe and the beautiful culture from the perspective of one who lived in it. The stories, legends, and culture of the Northern Paiute are explored in this book which integrates into the history of the Pyramid Lake Paiute people. The history of Native Americans is often written by others but through this book you can learn the history of the tribe from a tribal member.

Book Description
Major questions have always existed concerning the role and status of Indian tribes and Indian peoples within the fabric of life in the United States. There is a relatively consistent body of law whose origins flow from precolonial America to the present day. This body of law is neither well-known nor well-understood by the American Public. Federal Indian law - or, more accurately, United States constitutional law concerning Indian tribes and individuals - is unique and separate from the rest of American jurisprudence. Analogies to general constitutional law, civil right law, public land law, and the like are misleading and often erroneous. Indian law is distinct. It encompassed Western European international law, specific provisions of the United States Constitution, precolonial treaties, treaties of the United States, an entire volume of the United States Code, and numerous decisions of the United States Supreme Court and lower federal courts.
