Two Court Cases Threaten Indigenous People, Sovereignty

Tribal rights are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, but modern court cases – including the Brackeen case currently before the Supreme Court – are reminders that Indigenous sovereignty and Native lands are still at risk in the United States.

Ray Suarez is joined by Tammerlin Drummond, creator and host of the “Gold Chains” from the Northern California chapter of the ACLU. Then, Jenn Williams, host of Foreign Policy’s show The Negotiators, talks with Cindy Blackstock, the plaintiff in the largest class action settlement in Canada’s history – $32 billion dollars set aside for Native victims and families harmed by the child welfare system. see more
