Pushed into the Rocks

About this book

Florence Connolly Shipek offers the results of her thirty years of research and testimony as an expert witness for the Indians struggling to regain and maintain control of their land. In tracing the historical ownership and use patterns Shipek illustrates how a case is made. Her major concerns are to establish what the "tribal custom" is and to offer a practical guide to tribes and consultants involved in land-use planning or litigation.
