Prof. Manus published a really interesting overview of evolving law in Australia, Canada, and the US that you may find useful. (Indigenous Peoples' Environmental Rights: Evolving Common Law Perspectives in Canada, Australia and the United States, 33 B.C. Envtl. Aff. L. Rev. 1 (2006).)
Plus, they're working on a book together in this area, right this second. Prof. Dussias taught the Indigenous People's Rights course I took last year, and we surveyed Canadian, US, Aussie and NZ law. I just can't find the syllabus with all the readings. Oh, and here's why, there wasn't a single syllabus with all the readings on it. Here's some of the readings that I found:
Siegfried Wiessner, Rights and Status of Indigenous Peoples: A Global Comparative and International Legal Analysis, 12 Harv. Hum. Rts. J. 57 (1999);
Alison M. Dussias, Geographically-Based and Membership-Based Views of Indian Tribal Sovereignty: The Supreme Court's Changing Vision, 55 U. Pitt. L. Rev. 1;
Mireya Maritza Pena Guzman, The Emerging System of International Protection of Indigenous Peoples' Rights, 9 St. Thomas L. Rev. 251 (1996);
Stuart Banner, Why Terra Nullius? Anthropology and Property Law in Early Australia, 23 Law & History Rev. 95 (2005).
Anyway, if you find yourself flailing and want to talk, either one of them will at least read an email from you, if you say "Sidra Vitale sent me". Or, email me (see my LJ profile), especially if you have difficulty laying hands on any of these articles.
