The State Law Library of Montana has announced the creation of the Montana Indian Law Portal.  This website provides access to Montana’s tribal legal documents such as tribal court opinions, constitutions, water rights compacts, gaming compacts, fish and game regulations and codes.  Judy Meadows, Montana State Law Librarian states, “we believe it is the first comprehensive Indian law site for one state that includes all basic and controlling documents of the tribes.”  The project manager, Daniel Belcourt, met with the tribes and digitized documents in situ in order to capture this rich resource. 

Congratulations to the Montana State Law Library for their role in collecting and cataloging these vital documents and making them available to the public.  Click here to read more about this project and view the website.
