"This Web site describes a step-by-step process for finding the documents needed to build a tribal legal history. Step 1 identifies very basic information. Each additional step will expand the legal history archive to the desired level of comprehensiveness. Of course, every type of document will not be found for every Indian nation."
GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys) provides public access to Government information submitted by Congress and Federal agencies and preserved as technology changes.
