HeinOnline provides full text access to primary source documents related to U.S. law and legislation. BGSU is subscribing to the U.S. Department of the Interior Collection, which contains reports, legislation, legal decisions, papers and policies published between 1789 and 1995 by this government agency. Particular emphasis is on U.S. government policy related to Native North Americans.
