Here are some pages from my Indian law comic book-in-progress about U.S. v. Dann:
Mary and Carrie Dann
Newcombe: “Examing the Oral Arguments in Dann”
From Indian Country Today:
The Internet is amazing. I came across the audio (along with a written transcript) of the 1984 oral arguments in the case U.S. v. Dann. By listening to the audio recording, we are able to experience the arguments made 24 years ago before the Rehnquist Supreme Court regarding the issue of Western Shoshone land rights.
Robert McConnell, Assistant U.S. Attorney General, argued on behalf of the United States, which was suing Mary and Carrie Dann for allegedly trespassing on ”public lands” (Western Shoshone lands) by grazing their livestock without a permit from the Bureau of Land Management. McConnell opened by saying: ”Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court, this case comes before this Court on writ of certiorari to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It concerns the finality effect of Section 22(a) of the Indian Claims Commission Act.”
