SUMMARY:[Virtual] 2020 DC Indian Law Conference

Oklahoma\, 2020 has presented novel challenges and opportunities\, bringing Indian Country and the nation to a turning point. Please join us for the Virtual D.C.

This dynamic panel of Tribal leaders and Indian law experts will discuss the pandemic’s unique economic and health impacts and how\, as sovereign nations\, Tribes are working to protect the safety and welfare of their communities. \n\nConnie Tsosie de Haro\, Democratic Counsel\, Senate Committee on Indian Affairs (Moderator)\nNicole Ducheneaux\, Partner\, Big Fire Law & Policy Group LLP\nSarah Harris\, Vice Chairwoman\, The Mohegan Tribe\nDoreen N. McPaul\, Attorney General\, Navajo Nation Department of Justice\nBryan Newland\, Chairman\, Bay Mills Indian Community\n\nFriday\, November 6\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET\nLooking Forward After McGirt \nMcGirt v. Oklahoma was a landmark win for Indian country that confirmed time-honored Indian law principles in how Indian law cases are handled by the US Supreme Court. This acknowledgement is historic because of the geographic and possibly substantive reach of the decision. The decision is a significant and helpful clarification of Solem v. Bartlett\, one that dispels the notion that de facto diminishment/disestablishment is possible independent of statutory language. Justice Neil Gorsuch grasped the gravity of the ruling. He wrote\, “On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise…Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law. Because Congress has not said otherwise\, we hold the government to its word.”  These powerful words necessitate us to ask where do we go from here? This esteemed panel discusses the potential future of Indian law after McGirt. \n\nSarah Crawford\, Associate\, Clause Law PLLC(Moderator)\nRiyaz Kanji\, Founding Member\, Kanji & Katzen PLLC\nArlinda Locklear\nJoel Williams\, Staff Attorney\, Native American Rights Fund (NARF)\n\n2:30 – 4:00 p.m. ET\nEthics and Racial Disparities in the Legal Profession   \nIn 2015\, the National Native American Bar Association published a first-of-its-kind study on the experiences of Native American attorneys across the legal profession\, shedding light on disparate experiences and widespread exclusion. This dynamic panel will address the report’s stark findings\, individual experiences in the professional setting\, as well as the mental health impacts of discrimination and racial trauma. \n\nAllie Greenleaf Maldonado\, Chief Judge\, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (Moderator)\nStephanie McIver\, Counseling Director\, University of New Mexico\nThomasina Real Bird\, President\, National Native American Bar Association & Partner\, Patterson Earnhart Real Bird & Wilson LLP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed.
