Indian Law Resources

For nearly a quarter century, the University of Oregon School of Law has been working to advance Indian law and native issues. Through our curriculum, faculty scholarship, Native Environmental Sovereignty Project, and student body, Oregon maintains a rich focus on Indian law and a tradition of active assistance to tribes. Neighboring the law building are the Many Nations Longhouse, a gathering place for community and cultural education and the UO Museum of Natural and Cultural History, researching and exhibiting 15,000 years of Northwest cultural history.
