Abstract

The decision of the United States Supreme Court in McGirt v. Oklahoma (2020) raises several important questions relating to determining jurisdiction required to try certain criminal offenses for crimes committed on Indian lands by both Native Americans and non-Native Americans. This article considers these questions and proposes a possible solution through the creation of a State and Sovereign Nation Compact to resolve jurisdiction questions.
