In its attempt to end birthright citizenship, the Trump administration has cited a 19th century lawsuit that denied U.S. citizenship to Native Americans. The president’s executive order has been blocked by multiple federal judges, and his use of Elk v. Wilkins to justify the order is generally deemed invalid by legal scholars. But the use of the lawsuit has raised concerns over immigration enforcement in some Indigenous communities, even though Native Americans were granted citizenship in 1924. Nazune Menka is an assistant professor of law and director of the Center for Indian Law and Policy at Seattle University. She joins us to share more about Elk v. Wilkins and the lasting impact it’s had on relations between tribal and federal governments.
State Legislators are considering a bill that would offer training on state and tribal history. It's an effort to ensure all lawmakers understand the cultural and legal context between the government and tribal nations.
Before taking office this week, President Donald Trump promised swift and decisive actions to get his agenda moving. In addition to major reforms for immigration and pardons for participants in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, he also signaled policy directions that affect Native Americans. Among them are proposed cuts to Medicaid, changes that affect Native foster care, and reductions in protected lands. He also eliminated federal government diversity programs and took steps to reverse the decision to name North America's highest peak that refers to the traditional Koyukon Athabascan word. We'll take stock of some of Trump's immediate priorities. GUESTS Nagruk Harcharek (Iñupiaq), president of the Voices of the Iñupiat Evon Peter (Gwich'in and Koyukon), board member of the Gwich'in Council International and former chief of Arctic Village, Alaska Nazune Menka (Koyukon and Lumbee), assistant professor of law and faculty director at the center for Indian Law and Policy at Seattle University School of Law Juanita Cabrera Lopez (Maya Mam), executive director of the International Mayan League
There were two recent court proceedings in the country that related to divorce and maintenance: in July, the Supreme Court once again upheld a divorced Muslim woman's rights to claim maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code or the secular law ruling that this applies to all women “irrespective of religion.” And then just a couple of weeks ago, questioned a woman who had asked for over Rs. 6 lakh per month as maintenance from her ex-husband. The court advised the woman to provide a more reasonable account of her expenses if she wanted the court to consider her application further. So what exactly is a divorced person entitled to as maintenance – spousal and child support if children are involved, under the divorce laws in the country? How is this amount calculated? Why do so many women have to approach the higher courts for maintenance? Does the principle of being able to live in the same position as prior to the divorce apply? And does there need to be a fairer, more sensitive system for all involved?

The Michigan State University College of Law's Indian Law Clinic has received funding to continue its work of assisting tribes with enforcement of the law. The MSU clinic is the only law school clinic in the country that regularly represents tribes in both state and federal courts on Indian Child Welfare Act, or ICWA, cases. The NoVo Foundation has provided $400,000 in funding for the next two years to support the clinic's work. The funding will allow the clinic to hire additional lawyers and administrative support to increase its capacity and provide more MSU law students with the opportunity to work on ICWA cases and take on more tribal clients. Kathryn E. Fort is director of clinics at the college and directs the Indian Law Clinic. She talks about the clinic's history and mission and talks about the types of cases with which the clinic assists. Conversation Highlights: (0:25) – What's your background, and how long have you been at MSU? (2:01) – Did you always know you wanted to practice law?

In an era of sharp and often predictably partisan disagreements within the Supreme Court, it might surprise some that Neil Gorsuch, one of the court's 6 conservative justices, has emerged as one of the fiercest proponents of tribal sovereignty to ever serve on the bench. That fact doesn't surprise Stetson Law Professor Grant Christensen, however. Christensen is a specialist in Federal Indian Law, the unique mixture of federal regulations and tribal sovereignty that governs the lands set aside for Native American communities within the states. In this episode, we discuss the unexpected Supreme Court majorities that can emerge in Indian Law cases that test questions about federalism, recent decisions about the Indian Child Welfare Act and tribal lands in Oklahoma, and how indigenous legal traditions can propose models for reforming corporate governance.
42-year-old Melissa Montoya lived in Dulce, New Mexico, within the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Though she was a quiet woman, there was a profound strength about Melissa.

It would be hard to find a legal victory any more important than the ruling named after federal judge George Hugo Boldt in 1974. It was the turning point for the fight led by Nisqually activist Billy Frank, Jr., initially affirming the treaty fishing rights for 20 tribes in western Washington State. But it provided the basis for a far-reaching transformation of Indian Law and natural resource management. GUESTS State Rep. Debra Lekanoff (Lingít/D-WA40) Ed Johnstone (Quinault), chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission Nancy Shippentower (Puyallup), activist and chair of the Salmon Defense Fund Rob Purser (Suquamish), tribal fisherman and Suquamish Tribe fisheries director

The criminal justice system is a tool of social control. And no where is that more evident than on our nation's Indian reservations. American Indians have been the targets of the wrath of the criminal process since the day a renegade Sioux warrior Crow Dog shot Chief Spotted Tail dead in the late 1800's. We can watch wonderful films like Dances With Wolves & Killers of the Flower Moon to learn about the atrocities committed against American Indians way back when. But many of us believe those terrible days are behind us and the American Indian now enjoys full and unfettered rights. Of course, that's a myth, and no where does that myth come into living color than in tribal and federal court. Therefore, helping us get Set for Sentencing this week is Arizona attorney, member of the Navajo Nation, and fierce public defender working for the Salt River Pima Indian community in the greater Phoenix Area, Melanie Yazza. Melanie and I met years ago when we had a mutual American Indian client who was wrongfully accused of sexually assaulting his teenaged step-daughter. It was a hard fought case, and thankfully justice was done. IN THIS EPISODE: How a person ends up being charged BOTH tribally and federally for the same offense; Different possible punishments in tribal and federal court; Why the concept of “double jeopardy” does not apply; Whether tribal judges must actually be lawyers; Whether you are entitled to a jury trial in tribal court; Who makes the sentencing decisions in tribal court; The story of Crow Dog & Spotted Tail and how the feds stole jurisdiction away from the tribes for “major crimes”; The story of how we successfully defended a wrongfully accused client; Cultural differences that make a difference in defending an American Indian client and some practical advice to bridge the cultural gap; Drugs on the reservation and mandatory minimum sentences for simple possession.

Happy Monday! Sam is off today, but in honor of Indigenous People's Day he spoke with Peter D'Errico, professor emeritus of legal studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, about his recent book Federal Anti-Indian Law: The Legal Entrapment of Indigenous Peoples. But first, Emma spoke with Orly Noy, editor at Local Call and chair of B'Tselem's executive board, to discuss the recent fighting between Palestine and Israel. Emma also walked through on the UAW's labor action, Donald Trump's assessment of RFK, a devastating earthquake in Afghanistan, and Gavin Newsom's regressive veto campaign, before stepping back to look at the role of Israel's ongoing apartheid state and Bibi Netanyahu's genocidal government in pushing this conflict to its breaking point. Orly joins the show from Jerusalem, as she updates Emma on the state of war within Israel and Palestine, even as far from the primary conflict as Jerusalem is. Next, Noy parses through Bibi Netanyahu's response as a perfect encapsulation of his political agenda, completely committing his power to punishing Gaza and Palestine, and shoring up his own political station. Expanding on this, Noy walks through the failure of the Israeli government to even provide safety for Israelis, dedicating their forces to a genocidal response and leaving civilian safety to civilian organizers, before she and Emma step back and assess the evolution of Netanyahu's approach (or lack thereof) to Palestine, pulling every maneuver to bypass them politically, while maintaining a strict and severe military occupation. Wrapping up, Noy assesses Hamas' outcast role in Palestinian politics and military resistance, and why ground invasion would be an incredibly dangerous development for the already criminally fragile open-air prison that is Gaza. Professor D'Errico then walks through the evolution of the doctrines of settler colonialism in what is now the United States, with the doctrine of Christian discovery that launched the colonial era from Spain and England setting the stage for the US' own domestic justification for the “manifest destiny” agenda. Expanding on this, D'Errico and Sam explore the central cases in the establishment of Chief Justice John Marshall's ‘Marshall Doctrine' in Indian Law, which actively committed to the perspective of Christian dominion and discovery, and asserted the native peoples as a sub-human class unable to look after their land. Next, they look to the post-Marshall evolution of the doctrine, with the Court carrying its vision forward while slowly obscuring its origins, seeing it affirmatively cited even by supposedly progressive justices like RBH, without reference to Christianity. After expanding on the Marshall Doctrine's secondary purpose as a reinforcement of federal domination over the states, D'Errico wraps up by walking through the contemporary battles over the Marshall Doctrine, the push for full assimilation of Native territories, and the need to bring the origins of the doctrine back into full public view. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Matt watch Jordan Peterson's homophobia get easily sliced by Jim Jeffries, Lucy from Tallahassee dives into her perspective on DeSantis' culture war, and Mustafa Barghouti makes an impactful appearance on CNN in the wake of Hamas' attacks this weekend. Nancy Mace has no response to her support for alleged perpetrators and SA supporters Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz, Jacob from Alabama discusses the Marriage Penalty on social benefits, the UK's right-wing spiral continues, and Alfred from Texas puts forward a counterfactual to assuage European culpability on Indigenous Peoples Day, plus, your calls and IMs!

Today we will hear from Patrick Yawakie-Peltier, co-Founder of Red Medicine LLC, an Indigenous civic engagement service based in Montana. Patrick was present throughout Montana's legislative session this year, advocating for and against policy that will impact the state's tribal members. Patrick will share with us his personal experience in the session as an Indigenous person and community advocate, and also his calls for improved engagement and approaches in our state legislative process. Patrick shares messages intended for tribal members to gain information and entry points for advocacy, and also for non-Native folks to gain valuable insight and perspective. Like many of our episodes attempt to do, I hope that no matter your demographic, you can gain some insight about others or even yourself through these conversations…as I believe, whether you agree with someone or not, it benefits us to be more informed about the challenges, and humanized perspectives of those we share our world with. This episode also shares some context and introductory information on Montana's unique tribal communities and a few specifics that contribute to the field of Indian Law.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma in which the court found that Congress had never disestablished the Muscogee Nation's reservation, several more criminal cases have materialized involving the interpretation of Tribal jurisdiction on reservations outside of the Five Tribes (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, and Seminole). One case in particular, Oklahoma v. Brester, involved crimes committed on the Peoria and Ottawa reservations and therefore should be tried in federal court given that the Tribe's 1867 Treaty boundaries remain intact. Indian Law & Gaming Practice Group Chair Mike McBride represents the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma before the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals and the district court. Mike discusses the history of the Peoria Tribe's terminated, but later restored, federal relationship, and how the decision in Brester affirmed that the reservations had never been disestablished and the Peoria Tribe's significant powers over the reservation remain intact.About Mike McBrideConnect with Crowe & Dunlevy:Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn

Begum Zeenat Mahal was the last standing queen of the famous Indian Mughal Empire, her reign being from November 1840 to September 1857. The queen consort of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor, very little is known about Zeenat's early life other than the fact that she was married off at the age of 18 years… while the emperor was 64 years old at the time. When her husband's reign was cut short by the angry British army and East India Company, Zeenat was not really the focus of the whole revolt. In fact, when the barracks revolt of 1857 happened in north India, Zeenat ran way from Delhi city to make sure her son Mirza Jawan Bakht was protected. Yet, she thrived in the sidelines, through calculative and methodical puppeteering of political influence and palace intrigue. Because what Zeenat wanted more than anything in the world was to keep the Mughal empire up and running. And for her son to remain on the throne of Hindustan. Even if it meant poisoning one (or two, or three) high-ranking English officers along the way.

Jacqueline Fernandez is best known as a Bollywood actress and model of Sri Lankan descent, who very recently has been accused of receiving funds from a conman and allegedly being involved in money laundering. Jacqueline has been accused by the Enforcement Directorate of India of both financial impropriety and destruction of evidence. But did she also commit the unforgivable crime of falling in love? As a FirstPost article from July 2022 says about Jacqueline and alleged lover Sukesh Chandrashekar -- "Love knows no bar". Between December 2021 to today, Jacqueline has been called in a bunch of times for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate over her involvement in potential money laundering by Sukesh. She was questioned over whether she was given gifts or other items by the conman in question, likely totally about tens of crores of Indian rupees. She has been prevented from travelling out of India, which has impeded her professional and personal life, leading to a PR nightmare and her being removed from high-budget movie projects. She was charged officially for working with Sukesh to convert his black money holdings into legitimate assets. Oh and of course, since she is a woman, her character has been called into question through sheer gossip and rumours, most of which remain unconnected to the story at hand. Jacqueline was already a very famous face. But this case took her to a whole other level of infamy.

On June 29, 2022, in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, the U.S. Supreme Court held in a 5-4 decision that the state of Oklahoma had concurrent jurisdiction with the federal government to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian Country. Indian Law & Gaming Practice Group Chair Mike McBride and associate Greg Buzzard discuss the importance of the change in composition to the Supreme Court between McGirt and Castro-Huerta, including the court's decision to apply the Bracker balancing test for the first time in a criminal law case. They also examine the potential impact of the decision on states with considerably different Tribal jurisdictions and demographics to those in Oklahoma.About Mike McBride and Greg BuzzardConnect with Crowe & Dunlevy:Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) has been a successful federal law since it was enacted in 1978 and is considered by many experts to be the gold standard of child welfare practices. And yet, decades later, a federal court ruled ICWA unconstitutional in a widely criticized 2021 decision. The case, Brackeen v. Haaland, is now before the Supreme Court, which could with its decision rewrite much of Indian Law as we know it. Lindsay Langholz is joined by Professor Matthew Fletcher to debrief the oral arguments in the case and discuss the implications of potential outcomes.

Rebecca Nagle, host of Crooked Media's This Land, joins Melissa, Leah, and Kate to recap the arguments in Haaland v. Brackeen. The case revolves around the Indian Child Welfare Act, which lays out a set of preferences for where Native American children can be placed for foster care and adoption. The challengers, white foster parents trying to adopt Native American children, are claiming a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. But as Rebecca explains, tribal sovereignty isn't racial-- it's political.Plus, we take a look at the midterm outcomes and what they mean for the courts.Listen to Season 2 of This Land, all about the back story of Haaland v. Brackeen.Read Rebecca Nagle's piece in The Atlantic, "The Supreme Court Case That Could Break Native Sovereignty."

The next case is Oklahoma v Castro-Huerta, and Craig dives into the flip in reasoning stemming from a 200-year history of Indian Law. Lastly, we hear about West Virginia v EPA and Craig's thoughts on the place of historical analysis in Supreme Court decisions.

Some folks on the internet have been trying to "one weird trick" our way to saving Roe by claiming that tribal sovereignty could help ensure abortion access. Well, not only is this wrong, it's offensively wrong. OA brings you the deep-dive on Indian Law (yes, that's what it's called...) with a refresher on McGirt v. Oklahoma, and why none of that equals an instant abortion rights fix. After that, a wildcard question – now that Roe is being overturned, does that mean justices committed perjury in their confirmation hearings? Links: McGirt v. Oklahoma, 18 US Code § 1153 - Offenses committed within Indian country, The Hyde Amendment, Indigenous Women's Reproductive Rights: The Indian Health Service and Its Inconsistent Application of the Hyde Amendment

In July 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court decided McGirt v. Oklahoma, in which it held the Muscogee (Creek) Nation was never disestablished by Congress and therefore remains “Indian country” under federal law for purposes of criminal jurisdiction. At the time, Chief Justice Roberts wrote in his dissent that the decision had the potential to create “significant uncertainty” regarding environmental regulation in Oklahoma. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) entered the fray last month when it issued a notice and request for comment concerning the reconsideration of its October 2020 confirmation of Oklahoma's EPA-approved environmental regulatory programs. Energy, Environment & Natural Resources Practice Group member Tim Sowecke discusses the history of federal environmental regulations between states and tribes, including the “Midnight Rider” provision that was inserted into a 2005 transportation bill, and provides clarity on what stakeholders and the business community can expect when trying to alleviate the uncertainty surrounding McGirt and its impact on Oklahoma's environmental regulations.About Tim Sowecke
