In 1933 Heinrich Krieger was a German exchange student studying at the University of Arkansas.  In March of 1935, The George Washington Law Review published Heinrich’s dissertation called, Principles of the Indian Law and the Act of June 18,1934.

The Wheeler-Howard Act of 1934 was also known as the Indian Reorganization Act.  Heinrich wrote, “The Act differs from the original Wheeler-Howard Bill in several respects, especially in the omission of provisions, ‘to promote the more effective administration of justice in matters affecting Indian tribes and communities by establishing a federal court of Indian affairs.’”

STARR COUNTY, Texas — The Biden administration announced today that for the first time it will waive environmental, public health and cultural resource protection laws to fast-track construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Texas. The administration says it will take “immediate action to construct barriers and roads” along the border, including through the fragile Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge and neighboring lands.

“It’s disheartening to see President Biden stoop to this level, casting aside our nation’s bedrock environmental laws to build ineffective wildlife-killing border walls,” said Laiken Jordahl, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity.“Starr County is home to some of the most spectacular and biologically important habitat left in Texas and now bulldozers are preparing to rip right through it. This is a horrific step backward for the borderlands.”
