Federal and state appellate courts decided many important cases on issues ranging from the Indian Child Welfare Act to tribal taxation immunity, and tribal jurisdiction over nonmembers, which are included.

Also included are amendments to the tribal energy policy act that provide a path to greater self-determination in the natural resources context.

Important water rights cases from state and federal courts are included as principal cases with discussion, questions and analysis.

The Indian Child Welfare Act section was updated to include Obama-era regulations as well an appellate decision upholding them and the statute itself in the face of a broad constitutional challenge.
