While the Frank LaMere Native American Presidential Forum waits on Senator Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders to arrive, read his "Empower Tribal Nations" platform. #NativeForum #NativeVote2020 #NativeVote berniesanders.com/issues/empower…
@BernieSanders It's not as detailed as his 2016 platform but here are some 2020 highlights from @BernieSanders:
* Honor Native American tribal treaty rights and sovereignty, moving away from a relationship of paternalism and control toward one of deference and support. #HonorTheTreaties
* Reauthorize and expand the Violence Against Women Act to provide critical resources to women in Indian country and allow all tribes to prosecute non-Native criminals. #VAWA #TribalJurisdiction #JusticeForNativeWomen #VAWA4All #VAWA4MMIW #MMIW
* Enact a Green New Deal which includes a federal job guarantee to rebuild Native communities. The Green New Deal will undo environmental damage in Indian country, as well as provide jobs and rebuild the local economies of those communities. #GreenNewDeal

The U.S. Supreme Court also has issued the long-awaited decision in Haaland v. Brackeen. #ICWA #DefendICWA #ProtectICWA
supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…
The Haaland v. Brackeen has been one of the most closely watched Indian law cases in recent history. At stake is the Indian Child Welfare Act, the gold standard in child welfare law and the law that recognizes that tribes have a say in the futures of their children. #ICWA
The decision in Haaland v. Brackeen is noticeably complex. The entire document, including the syllabus, opinion, concurring opinions and dissent totals 133 pages. #ICWA #DefendICWA #ProtectICWA

Some bad news for Indian Country as U.S. Supreme Court rules that tribes do not enjoy sovereign immunity in federal bankruptcy proceedings.

Decision is 8-1, with Justice Neil Gorsuch the lone voice in support of tribes.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authors the court's opinion.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson:"Under our precedents, we will not find an abrogation of tribal sovereign immunity unless Congress has conveyed its intent to abrogate in unequivocal terms. That is a high bar. But for the reasons explained below, we find it has been satisfied here."
Justice Clarence Thomas, naturally, chimes in with this nugget of wisdom: "As I have explained, to the extent that tribes possess sovereign immunity at all, that immunity does not extend to 'suits arising out of a tribe’s commercial activities conducted beyond its territory.'"
