Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Major Crimes Act of 1885 granted the federal government primary jurisdiction over certain felonies committed in tribal lands, including crimes by one Native American against another. This act is a significant aspect of federal Indian law and recognizes the federal government's jurisdiction over Native American tribal lands. The other options, such as the Assimilated Crimes Act of 1825, Federal Enclaves Act, and Doctrine of Discovery, are not directly related to granting federal jurisdiction over tribal lands or crimes committed within them.
