In this episode, renowned experts on American Indian law and policy,
Matthew Fletcher and Wenona Singel, discuss the nuanced and highly
complex field of American Indian Law. Matthew and Wenona begin by
exploring the history of tribal sovereignty, and discuss
the rights of American Indians as both tribal citizens and U.S.
citizens. We then explore jurisdiction across border lines,
particularly in a criminal context. Matthew and Wenona discuss the
history of violence against native women, and why, until recently,
prosecution has been so difficult. The history of and current U.S.
court challenges to the Indian Child Welfare Act are also examined.
