BREAKING: Tribes + Native orgs filed an amicus brief to protect Chí’chil Biłdagoteel (#OakFlat). “For Native American religion to survive, Native people must be able to practice their way of life in sacred places." - NARF Executive Director John Echohawk: narf.org/apache-oak-fla…

Today an Alberta lawyer argued that requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course was the same as forcing indigenous children into residential schools and I’ve never heard a more powerful argument for requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course. #ableg

“Discovered” 🤦🏻‍♀️: a good step for Indigenous + human rights. SCOTUS domesticates international “law” as central to an assertion of power and those supremacy concepts (eventually) fail to stand the test of time. Then what? Dismiss this as “just symbolic?” No. This is significant.

NCAI mourns the passing of Head Councilman Joe Garcia (Ohkay Owingeh) – a leader among leaders, a mentor to many, and a friend to all. His contributions and commitment to Indian Country will serve as inspiration for generations of leaders to come. bit.ly/3W0SK8L

ICWA!!!

"My heart beamed," Lauren van Schilfgaarde said of Justice Gorsuch's opinion in yesterday's #ICWA ruling. "There are simply too many U.S. Supreme Court cases that diminish tribal sovereignty, negate tribal histories and minimize tribal interests." buff.ly/3Nh0j7k

Just the creator of Yellowstone taking credit for decades of work led by Native women to protect our own. And an fyi, oh great white savior, VAWA was a partial fix. We still lack jurisdictional authority to prosecute non-Natives unless in a domestic relationship.

Absolutely wild that Sheridan publicly claimed his movie (about 2 white saviors helping solve the murder of a Native woman, played by a non-Native actress to boot) was somehow responsible for landmark legislation Native women spent decades organizing & fighting for.

Happy to share my new piece, forthcoming in the Arizona Law Review, (Un)Vanishing the Tribe. Giving another anticanon kick to Castro-Huerta, and anticipating some rad Tribal futures. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

The Ninth Circuit has just held the transfer of Oak Flat from federal land to a private company, that will then transform Oak Flat into a 1.8 mile crater in pursuit of copper, is NOT a "substantial burden" on the Apaches. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin…
