There is a big debate about the recent comments made by Minister Louis Farrakhan about instituting Black Courts for black Americans in their perspective neighborhoods. The US Government and Department of Justice has long since allowed Autonomous Tribal Self Rule Law for Native Americans on and off Reservations! He is not crazy, just proposing existing solutions that the Native Americans have practiced in their neighborhoods since the late 1800s. In essence: As the U.S. Supreme Court recently explained:Tribal courts . . . differ from other American courts (and often from one another) in their structure, in the substantive law they apply, and in the independence of their judges. Although some modern tribal courts mirror American courts and are guided by written codes, rules, procedures, and guidelines, tribal law is still frequently unwritten, being based instead on the values, mores, and norms of a tribe and expressed in its customs, traditions, and practices, and is often handed down orally or by example from one generation to another. The resulting law applicable in tribal courts is a complex mix of tribal codes and federal, state, and traditional law, which would be unusually difficult for an outsider to sort out. - See more at: corporate.findlaw/law-library/reservations-of-right-an-introduction-to-indian-law.html#sthash.6D1gF7BD.dpuf
