There’s been a revolution over the past generation in the relationships between Native American tribes and their neighbors, in Idaho and beyond. This continuing revolution has changed the balance of power and wealth, altered the regulatory landscape, created new business opportunities and challenges, and generated significant concerns and conflict. Idaho remains on the cutting edge.

The breakfast briefing covered the following subjects:

• Overview of Idaho’s Native American tribes and reservations (Coeur d’Alene, Nez Perce, Shoshone-Bannock at Fort Hall, Shoshone-Paiute at Duck Valley, and Kootenai)
• Overview of key principles and current issues of federal Indian law
• Growth and “diminishment” of “Indian county”
• Treaty rights update
• Tribal authority under federal environmental laws
• Tribal regulatory authority over non-Indians
• Doing business with tribes and tribal members
