Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether United States v. Antelope, 430 U.S. 641 (1977), should be overruled because the Major Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1153—which transforms certain acts committed in "Indian Country" into federal crimes only where the defendant is an "Indian"—denies those of Native American descent the equal protection of the law in violation of the Fifth Amendment?
