RESOURCES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF CRIMINAL JURISDICTION OVER NON-INDIANS UNDER VAWA

The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 included historic provisions that reaffirm tribal criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians in certain domestic violence cases. When this provision takes effect nationwide on March 7, 2015, Indian tribes will be able to prosecute non-Indians who abuse Indian women on tribal lands for the first time since the Oliphant v. Suquamish decision.  Importantly, there a number of due process requirements that must first be met. There are several upcoming opportunities for tribes to get more information about this important law:
