J.D., Stanford; Ph.D., Michigan; B.A., Amherst College. Part IV of this paper is drawn heavily from a joint comment drafted with Professor Margaret Chon of Seattle University School of Law. I thank her for reviewing the manuscript and providing comments. The author also wishes to thanks participants of a Faculty Workshop, University at Buffalo Law School; the Conference on Commodification Futures, University of Denver Law School; and the Conference on Indigenous Knowledge, Cardozo Law School. Generous travel and research support made possible by Dean Nils Olsen of the University at Buffalo Law School and Professor James Heitzman, Department of History, Georgia State University, is also deeply appreciated. Finally, the author would like to thank the administration and staff of the National Law School India University of Bangalore, particularly Registrar Babu Matthew, Suprio Das Gupta, and Srividhya Ragavan, for their graciousness during my visit in the Summer of 2000 to conduct background research for this paper.
