Pommersheim, Frank, 'Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock: The Birth of Plenary Power, Incorporation, and an Extraconstitutional Regime', Broken Landscape: Indians, Indian Tribes, and the Constitution (New York , 2012; online edn, Oxford Academic, 20 Apr. 2015), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:osobl/9780199915736.003.0005, accessed 16 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter discusses Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock, a case on which modern Indian law remains contingent on. It looks into Lone Wolf's background by considering federal law's expansion and allotment into Indian reservations for settlement. It describes how the western expansion placed enormous pressure on Indian territories and considers its motives. It discusses the provisions of the General Allotment Act or Dawes Severalty Act, which spurred Lone Wolf into going into court. The chapter also describes the effects of the Allotment Act, including the loss of millions of acres by the Indian tribes to the settlers.
