The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments about the Indian Child Welfare Act last week. Though the surface issue is adoption, this case concerns indigenous ways of knowing and living, i.e., sovereignty and self-determination, identity, and the relationship between Indigenous Nations and the United States. The podcast This Land, Season 2, digs deep into the larger historical and political contexts of the issues about ICWA.

1. Thanks -

Always up for a good podcast rec!

I work and have worked in an arena where ICWA is implicated. Will be very pissed if this racist Supreme Court chips away at hard fought tribal sovereignty after so many years of efforts!!

2. Hope the Supremes do the right thing here

We must protect and preserve Indigenous rights.
