Cherokee Nation Principal Chief, delegation attend SCOTUS arguments in ICWA case. Cherokee Nation, Morongo Band of Mission Indians, Oneida Nation & Quinalt Indian Nation the 4 defending tribes in Brackeen v Haaland. https://t.co/bPYTgGY77O via @IndianCountry #ICTPressPool

[Graham Lee Brewer @grahambrewer]

Justice Gorsuch just now getting at the concern many tribal nations have if ICWA is struck down: the threat it represents to tribal sovereignty. "There'll be a lot that would be eaten out of Title 25. We'd be busy for the next many years striking things down."

[Rob Maxim @robmaxim]

This piece by @rebeccanagle on Brackeen and ICWA is also a must-read. It gets at the pernicious motivation for bringing the case, as well as the stakes for Tribal sovereignty:

“If the Court strikes down ICWA, everything else could soon go with it.”

When Heather and Nick libretti were told they would not be able to adopt the Native child they had been fostering for less than 2 months, they didn’t accept the news. Instead, they decided to fight.

Today is a critical day for Indian Country. Our children belong in our communities, surrounded & supported by their extended family. We will never give up on Native kids. We must #ProtectICWA. Follow @protecticwa for more information & updates.

ICT is on the ground at the US Supreme Court where the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is being challenged in Haaland v. Brackeen and three combined cases.

VIDEO: People are waiting in line hoping to hear oral arguments in the Supreme Court on Nov. 9.

[Maggie Blackhawk @MaggieBlackhawk]

#SCOTUS hears oral argument today in Brackeen, a constitutional challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; the Court could use #Brackeen to undermine the foundations of Indian law. Plaintiffs argue that ICWA is unconst'l race discrimination and that it violates states' rights. /1

[Rebecca Nagle @rebeccanagle]

Here is why media coverage that centers or only tells the story of the white foster families in #Brackeen betrays a deep anti-Indigenous bias: it erases what happened to the Native families. #ICWA

Co-wrote an article on my late cousin Dugan Aguilar's photography and Vietnam War experience for the new issue of the Smithsonian's American Indian magazine. He was of Maidu, Pit River and Walker River Paiute ancestry. @NDNLit @NCAI1944 @NNNnativenews @PhotogNews @vietnamwarmem

Don't miss today's conversation with poet Billy-Ray Belcourt about his debut novel. Scholarly, sexual, joyful, citational, A Minor Chorus is somehow a polyvocal narrative of self-making (and unmaking) that remakes the novel as well

“Littlefeather’s sisters both said in separate interviews that they have no known Native American/American Indian ancestry. They identified as ‘Spanish’ on their father’s side and insisted their family had no claims to a tribal identity.” By @jfkeeler https://t.co/gXRebz5PLo

How I'll miss you, @tripgore.

Beautifully stubborn ’til the very end, Jeff Barnaby was bold in his life and his work. He bore a sensitivity, poignancy and depth within him, that translated through his films and resonated with audiences Indigenous and non-Native alike.
