Explores language and interaction within a contemporary Native American legal system. This work explains how Hopi notions of tradition and culture shape and are shaped by processes of Hopi jurisprudence. It shows that Hopi jurists and litigants have called for their courts to develop a jurisprudence that better reflect Hopi culture and traditions.
