Robert T. Stephan, Attorney General of Kansas, argued the cause for respondents. With him on the brief were John W. Campbell, Deputy Attorney General, and Timothy G. Madden, Special Assistant Attorney General.

William K. Kelley argued the cause for the United States as amicus curiae urging affirmance. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Starr, Acting Assistant Attorney General O'Meara, Edwin S. Kneedler, and Edward J. Shawaker.*

Rehnquist, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which White, Blackmun, Stevens, O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter, JJ., joined, and in all but Part II-B of which Scalia and Thomas, JJ., joined.

Chief Justice Rehnquist delivered the opinion of the Court.†

The question presented in this case is whether the Kansas Act, 18 U. S. C. § 3243, confers jurisdiction on the State of Kansas to prosecute petitioner, a Kickapoo Indian, for the state-law offense of aggravated battery committed against another Indian on an Indian reservation. We hold that it does.
