EARLY RECOGNIZED TREATIES WITH THE AMERICAN ABORGINE
For much of the last century, Charles J. Kappler’s Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties has served as the primary resource for the final texts of treaties made between American Indian tribes and the United States government. In that collation, Kappler included, along with other important materials, 366 of the 375 instruments recognized by the Department of State. Clause 2 of Article VI of the Constitution declares that “all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.” These documents, therefore, are legally binding dialogues between these sovereigns.
