New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum-History

The source that I reviewed was New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum-History this site “originate from a project of the Conference of Chief Justices, an organization of the chief judges of the courts of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and United States territories.”(New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum. 2007)The perspective that I think it is meant to convey its “mission to improve the administration of justice in state court systems.” (New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum. 2007)

 I believe that this web resources was selected and put into this course because it is a site that provides education in regards to the New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts concerns the information provided in the course sites are meant to educate students with accurate information, other site that may not be included in the course could provide inaccurate information when it comes to Tribal Courts. A quality academic web site is one that proves accurate information that is valuable for educating students that may not have any previous knowledge on the topic that the web site provides.  I believe that New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum-History website is a quality academic web site because the creation of the forum was to have “the group focus on three main issues: the placement of Indian children by the state family courts under ICWA; the resolution of jurisdictional conflicts arising from disparate rulings among federal, state and tribal justice systems; and the need to educate state and federal judges on tribal law and culture.”(New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum. 2007)

After reviewing the information in this web site I have an understanding one how organized the native communities became when it came to the way the State-Federal-Tribal courts interacted.  In this forum the representatives were able to discuss issues and come up with ways to rectify them.  They were able to provide education to other courts when it came to the Native culture and the need to convey information about their way of justice. “The Forum continues to meet biannually to creatively respond to its mission. The Forum does not address issues relating to casino gaming, land disputes, taxation or the substance of any matters currently in litigation.”(New York State-Federal-Tribal Courts Indian Nation Forum. 2007)
