Excerpt from Indian Tribal Justice Act: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Native American Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on H. R. 1268, Hearing Held in Washington, DC, April 21, 1993 A fundamental maxim of Indian law is that Indian Tribes retain any and all sovereignty that is not specifically divested by the Con gress. Fundamental to the exercise of this sovereignty is the ability of Indian Tribes to administer justice on tribal lands. Our commit tee and the Congress has affirmed the rights of Indian Tribes to exercise jurisdiction over all Indians through the passage of legisla tion overturning Duro vs. Reina. The United States clearly has a trust responsibility to ensure that tribal justice systems are properly funded and provided with the proper technical assistance. Tribes have shown for years that they are capable of operating successful justice systems on shoe string budgets. Tribal justice systems must receive funding levels equal to the tremendous task with which they are charged - the dispensation of fair and equal justice in Indian country.
