Protecting Profits Derived from Tribal Resources: Why the State of Utah Should Not Have the Power To Tax Non-Indian Oil and Gas Lessees on the Navajo Nation's Aneth Extension. Texaco, Exxon, and Union Oil v. San Juan County School District: A Case Study.

Ansson, Richard J., Jr.

American Indian Law Review, v21 n2 p329-50 1997

After the Aneth Extension (Utah) was added to the Navajo Reservation in 1933, Congress provided that part of natural resource royalties go to the state to finance education and other services for Navajo residents. These funds were squandered. A Utah Supreme Court case over dual taxation by state and tribe of non-Indian resource lessees is criticized. Contains references. (SV)
