Human Rights and Indian Rights: Las Casas to Standing Bear
By Robert Haller
Bartolome de las Casas appears over the east door of the Nebraska State Capitol in a panel showing him pleading before the King and Queen of Castile for recognition of the dignity of the Native American peoples. Judge Dundy, like Las Casas, based the claim for the humanity of Indians on the integrity of the alien culture and on the emotional sympathy evoked by the victimized peoples in the famous trial of Crook vs. Standing Bear  (1879). This illustrated talk finds parallels in the career of Las Casas with the events leading up to the trial of Standing Bear. It discusses the interrelation of our ideas of human rights, religious belief, legal entitlement, international law, and cultural integrity.
