Podcast appearances and mentions of gabe galanda

In this episode of All My Relations, Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip) and Temryss Lane (Lummi Nation)—sit down with Indigenous rights attorney Gabe Galanda (Round Valley Indian Tribes) to discuss the mounting legal threats to Tribal Nationhood, citizenship, and sovereignty. As executive orders and court cases attempt to undermine Native status and question our birthright citizenship, we unpack what's happening and what's at stake.Together, we explore the legal history behind Native Citizenship, from Elk v. Wilkins to the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and how the Supreme Court continues to challenge the political status of Tribal Nations. Gabe highlights the ongoing erasure of Indigenous identity under U.S. law, warning that Native people remain "sub-citizens," not universally protected by the U.S. Constitution, and that our status exists at the mercy of an act of Congress. He raises the unsettling reality that if a simple majority of Congress were to revoke the 1924 Citizenship Act, we could once again be placed in legal limbo.We also turn inward, examining how Tribal policies around blood quantum and disenrollment are eroding our sovereignty from within. Gabe points out that over 70% of Tribal Nations still use blood quantum—a colonial, racialized construct—to determine belonging. We ask ourselves how we can continue to argue for our political status while using a racial measurement to determine our own citizenship? If we don't address these internal challenges, are we eradicating ourselves before the government even has the chance?This episode is an urgent call to rethink Indigenous citizenship and belonging before external forces dictate our future.Join us in this critical conversation.

KGMI's Jason Upton talks to Gabe Galanda, an attorney advocating for several families who are being evicted from their homes in Deming by the Nooksack Indian Tribe. This complicated housing saga has been going on for years now and, as recently reported by KGMI, seems to be coming to an end soon.

Native Americans have a long and rich tradition of producing artwork from behind bars. In the past, it was both a means of artistic expression and a way to document and communicate important events. Modern inmate artwork is also a vehicle for creative expression. It is also a valuable tool for personal growth and rehabilitation. We'll hear about artwork's healing and redemptive significance for incarcerated Native Americans.

  Todays topic is a broadstrokes lesson on Indigenous Human Rights with activist and attorney, Gabe Galanda.  There was a story on the news last week that followed the re-naming of the Indiana pro baseball team from the Chiefs to the Guardians - and now that I have this conversation under my belt, I understand the importance of it in an entirely new way and I hope you will too.  If you walked by Gabe on the street, you'd  have no idea that he was raised on a reservation, deviated from the norm of his tribe and went to college,  followed by law school, and has now dedicated his law practice and life to helping the disenfranchised and representing tribal governments, and citizens.  You'd never guess by looking at him that for 13 years he's been named to Best Lawyers in America in the field of Native American Law, and dubbed a Super Lawyer by his peers from 2013 to 2020.  I have to fess up to the fact that I know this about Gabe because his family and mine have been friends for a long time.  I've known him for about 9 years and in that time have seen him take higher profile cases as well as become a community activist in my neighborhood.  Gabe is by far my favorite person to ask any question I have about politics because his lens on life is so clear and focused.  He's brilliant so he always knows most of the answers to my questions, but he's pragmatic and solution focused so doesn't just rant - he usually has a pretty smart proposal to solve whatever problem we're faced with, and knows that political system well enough to tell me the truth about what's going on.   I follow him on Twitter which you should absolutely do too @NDNlawyer - because he'd been quoted in an article that I'd read through his feed.  We'll talk about the case he was quoted on in the podcast.  But through that article and his feed, I'd kept reading words I didn't really understand like “blood quantum” and disenrollment, which as a white person I'd never heard.  My Caucasian tribe has never once questioned my ancestry or asked how much Irish I actually have in my DNA - I've just never had to worry about it.   So I studied up a bit so when Gabe came to dinner to ask him all about it.  I want to thank Gabe for coming to the table with real honesty and eagerness to teach and give an opinion.  There are people in life who, when they speak, you listen and realize how much you have to learn.  Gabe is one of those people.  Thankfully, Gabe is willing to patiently answer all my questions and educate those of us who don't know about indigenous rights.  We owe it to ourselves and our Indigenous brothers and sisters to learn.

Today, Gabe Galanda, the managing lawyer at Galanda Broadman stationed out of Seattle, Washington weighs in on the fallout from Seneca County's decision to deny the Cayuga Nation building permits to clear debris - due to owing more than $6 million delinquent taxes, interests, and penalties on total properties. Even though the delinquent tax amount is less than that on the individual properties in question along State Route 89 over the winter - concerns over permitting have bubbled for months. In a FingerLakes1.com exclusive, Lee Alcott, the lead attorney for Bureau of Indian Affairs representative Clint Halftown and the Cayuga Nation responded, "The Cayuga Nation offered to remove debris and clean the property just as it did across the street. The County can work this out amicably or in a court of law where the Nation will prevail as it has for the last 15 years."

We're back for the new year with another chapter in our discussion of Natives and racism. This time we're speaking with attorney Gabe Galanda, who has made a career out of fighting for and on Native issues surrounding Native identity and rights.

Blood quantum. The percentage of Native “blood” one possesses, the fraction listed on Certificates of Degree of Indian Blood, and a fraught concept that has its defenders and dissenters in our communities. Despite its colonial origins, many tribes still use blood quantum as a requirement for tribal enrollment, and these fictional fractions carry huge weight in the lives of Indigenous Peoples. In this episode we hope to parse out some of these complications around the topic of blood quantum—legally and interpersonally, as well as the ways these metaphors of blood have moved into genetic science. Many of our Native nations are at a crisis point when it comes to thinking about enrollment, and notions of blood and belonging are at the center of that. Knowing all of this, where do we go from here? Join Matika and Adrienne as they discuss blood, enrollment, law, genetics and belonging with Charlotte Logan (Akwesasne Mohawk) a genetic researcher debunking blood quantum theory, Gabe Galanda (Round Valley Indian Tribes of California, descending from the Nomlaki and Concow Tribes), a prolific Seattle attorney fighting disenrollment cases, Tommy Miller (Colville), attorney and author of law review article “Beyond Blood Quantum: The legal and political implications of expanding tribal enrollment”, and Professor David Wilkins (Lumbee), legal scholar and co-author of “Dismembered: Native Disenrollement and the Battle for Human Rights”.Guest Bios:Charlotte Logan is Akwesasne Mohawk and a molecular biologist working in upstate new york.

I spoke with Gabe Galanda, the co-founder and managing lawyer of Galanda Broadman, an Indian Country law firm, with headquarters in Seattle. We discussed his background and the genesis of Galanda Broadman, how he identified his preferred practice area, his approach to case selection, his firm's commitment to addressing tribal disenrollment, how he divides his time between business development and practicing law, and his recommendations for lawyers seeking to build a practice or students interested in striking out on their own.

“Look for those opportunities that may not be obvious to you.” Gabe Galanda is a member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes. Galanda is also a partner at the law firm Galanda Broadman. He joined NextGen Native previously to share his personal journey. If you haven’t heard his story, I recommend listening to his personal journey. It’s a perfect example of how one can overcome challenges to succeed in your own personal way, at a high level. His personal journey is prologue to his work for clients facing disenrollment. Through his law practice, Galanda emerged as one of the most vocal critics of disenrollment. For several years, he has represented clients fighting disenrollment. During that time he experienced many trying moments and challenges in his fight for his clients. At the time, not many people in Indian Country were openly discussing disenrollment, let alone fighting against the movement. But the tide may be turning. We spoke not too long after a #stopdisenrollment day of action and also following the decision by the tribal council for the Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians to re-enroll members that were previously disenrolled. Now, you’re seeing people speaking out against disenrollment, and taking action against it, in larger numbers. Much of that can be attributed to the work of Galanda and others who took on the fight several years ago. We discussed the fight against disenrollment, how Gabe managed the challenging battles on a personal and professional front, and what’s next in the fight. This includes an upcoming symposium called “Who Belongs” at the University of Arizona Rogers College of Law. The event includes a list of heavy hitters that will attend including tribal leaders and leading legal minds. This is a huge topic of the moment for Indian Country, and it’s one of the most heavy and intense topics, too. But this podcast creates space to discuss these issues in an in-depth, nuanced fashion, even if the fire still burns hot. This is one of those conversations, and I hope it sparks more across Indian Country.  

With the dis-enrollment proceedings against the Nooksack 306 having resulted in their removal from the tribe, attorney Gabe Galanda discusses the next steps, and gets into the discussion of federal power over the tribes and the threat federal power poses to Native sovereignty.

Gyasi and Wes have attorney Gabe Galanda in the studio to talk about tribal disenrollment, some of his current cases, and the legal gamble he's taking to fight for his clients.

Gabe Galanda is an enrolled member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes, a confederation of tribes in Northern California. He is also a founding partner of a lawfirm that includes his namesake,Galanda Broadman. You can follow the firm and its lawyers on Twitter and Facebook.   Gabe started from very humble beginnings. Gabe’s father spent time in prison and his mom struggled with substance abuse. But Gabe was raised by a village. From the age of 4 when his mom dropped off at a Catholic School, he always had people looking out for him. A twist of fate in highschool found Gabe working for the prosecutor that sent his dad to prison (listen to the podcast to learn more!). He cites this as a pivotal moment in his life that led to college.   He spent a brief time in community college, Gabe went to Western Washington University. By the time Gabe enrolled at Western Washington University, he knew he wanted to go to law school. Eventually he attended University of Arizona Law School.   Gabe worked for a law firm in Seattle for several years before striking out on his own. He left a partnership at Williams Kastner to start his own firm with a friend. After he learned his wife was pregnant. With twins. His decision was driven by his desire to be a strong presence in his children’s lives, and his own firm allowed him to structure his work life accordingly. This was a decision that many view as a “big jump.” But when you have focus and knowledge,  The Leap is not as big as it seems.   Since then, Gabe Galanda has made significant headway in the legal field and in Indian Country. He helped start a nonprofit organization Huy that promotes religious opportunity for Native prisoners. He also has taken on disenrollment cases for clients, and has become a strong opponent of disenrollment, calling it “wholly non-indigenous.” As Gabe has pushed the conversation into the spotlight, others have recently joined his stance, including the Last Real Indians. At a minimum, the National Native American Bar Association believes there should be due process.   Gabe acknowledges there may be differing views on these subjects, but if Indian Country does not have these discussions, others will, and others will also make decisions for us. Listen to more of Gabe Galanda’s story and passions in the interview.
