When I worked in San Francisco, there was no holiday named 'Columbus Day'.  Instead, we had off to commemorate 'Indigenous Peoples Day'.  Now that I live in SoFla, it's 'Columbus Day' again.

Anyhoo.  Loyal readers may recall my recent shout out to the Native Peoples Law Caucus lauding the group's excellent blog as well as Robdawg's post re: the surge of course offerings in American Indian law as reported in the 9/26/08 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education.  Historically speaking, American Indian law has been flying low on the radar screen we call "American jurisprudence" for generations so we're pleased to observe growing awareness and positive interest in this area. 

Hence, I'd like to take this opportunity to celebrate 'Indigenous Peoples Day' by alerting y'all to newly digitalized materials pertinent to American Indian law now available via select HeinOnline libraries.  Get a taste -- log in to the Legal Classics Library to view "Treaties between the United States of America and the Several Indian Tribes, from 1778 to 1837".  Mmmm...archival...

Snaps to legal publisher William S. Hein & Co. for making this rare material accessible!
