#Native children and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland are under legal attack in Brackeen v. Haaland. The powerful people behind the lawsuit include both #BigOil and the State of #Texas. If their attempt to have a conservative-majority Supreme Court overturn the #IndianChildWelfareAct is successful, the door will be open to the total elimination of #TribalSovereignty.

Take action now to stop this horrific attack on Native rights!

A good explainer on what's at stake with the right-wing challenge to the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act. The case was argued before the Supremes this week, and the Court is expected to rule sometime next summer.
