Definition

  • In the 1977 case of United States v. Gabriel Francis Antelope, the U.S. Supreme Court held that no violation of due process or equal protection occurred, wherein three Coeur d'Alêne Indian men were charged and prosecuted under federal law based upon the fact that the crime occurred on an Indian reservation, which is a federal enclave. A federal enclave is a designated geographic region over which the federal government holds sole jurisdiction, as permitted by Article 1, Section 8, clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution.
