Abstract

Policing American Indians in the United States of America has always been contentious especially from the tribal perspective. First they were regulated by the US Army and the Department of War and later by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of the Interior. Few realize the Major Crimes Act and the ‘Index Crimes’ made famous by John Edgar Hoover and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were initiated as a method of imposing federal control in Indian Country. Today the controversy continues with federal, state and local jurisdictions attempting to intervene in tribal policing.
