From: Rob Omura <romura@acs.ucalgary.ca>

Hello out there,

I am wondering if anyone out there could be of some assistance to me. I am currently working on an article on accidents and the law of accidents with respect to North American Great Plains aboriginal societies. I have found quite a few books on the law of blood or the law of homicide, which incidentally considers death a matter of absolute liability to the culpable party, but I have seen nothing on accidental or intentional maiming in aboriginal society. In addition, if anyone has any suggestions on Great Plains works related to aboriginal law, particularly under the Canadian Indian Act, 19th century, or the American BIA, please let me know.

Thanks,

      Rob K. Omura,

           To Rob Omura,

           re the request on aboriginal law on accidents
           and maiming, this is way out of my area, but I wonder if you
           would get some insight from the work of John Phillip Reid?
           If you have been working in aboriginal law for any length of
           time, you probably know his stuff, but if you are just
           beginning your research into this subject, he is probably
           the leading legal scholar studying the subject.  Besides
           reading his stuff, you can contact him at the New York
           University School of Law

Bob Omura, you should also take a look at the work of Rennard Strickland. Kermit L. Hall
