A major goal of the National Indian Law Library (NILL)
is to provide access to as many tribal governance documents as possible for
tribal members, attorneys, business entities and the general public. We believe
that access for all promotes an understanding of tribes as sovereign
governmental political entities, communicates the current state of the law,
and assists with the ongoing development of tribal law. Please join the library
and Westlaw to provide free and value-added fee access to this important content. Contact David
Selden, Law Librarian, to participate For more information, we have
developed a web page about our print
and digital collection program.
Thank you for your assistance!
