 historical evolution of federal jurisdiction over crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian Country. Starting from the 1785 Treaty of Hopewell, various treaties and acts, including the 1790, 1793, 1796, and 1802 Trade and Intercourse Acts, established federal jurisdiction over crimes like murder, robbery, larceny, and trespass. The 1796 Act introduced fines and imprisonment, with the U.S. Treasury compensating victims unless they sought private revenge. The 1817 General Crimes Act further solidified federal jurisdiction, marking a significant step in federal criminal law enforcement in Indian Country.
