The 7-2 ruling on the ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) is a wonderful surprise that has far-reaching impact in terms of tribal sovereignty.

There's a Powwow this weekend at the Washoe Stewart Colony - site of the Stewart Indian School. I imagine this will make the event even more joyful.

Let’s celebrate some good news in !

Last month, President Biden signed legislation that will give multiple Native American tribes the authority to lease their rights of parts of the Colorado River in Arizona.

This move is a major win for . Underserved indigenous reservations will gain funds to build infrastructure, access clean water, and hold leverage as governments deal with an ongoing water crisis.

In the 1910s my grandparents and great-aunts and great- uncles were born in a state of fugitivity, as their families fled a genocide against our people in Mexico. To strengthen the Yaqui Nation, they, along with others, established a community called Old Pascua in Tucson, Arizona, and continued in privacy our ancestral religion and mother tongue, hiak noki. Yesterday, to prevent urban encroachment, the Senate passed the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act. Congratulations to everyone who helped support this effort.

"As an Indigenous researcher, you are supposed to be a scientist, not an activist. But the moment you start talking about sovereignty, people label you as an activist, even though that is an inherent part of our identity, our scholarship, and a contribution to our science."-Dr. Stephanie Russo, PI of the Collaborative for Indigenous Data Governance

The Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children, established by the U.S. Congress to conduct a comprehensive study on programs and other supports available to native children in the U.S., will hold a hearing tomorrow on the "role of government" at 2:00 PM Central Time. By the nature of the topic this could be a very wide ranging discussion on "federal Indian policy" in general.

Human Rights Watch had the honor of screening the beautifully personal documentary, Daughter of a Lost Bird, at our New York and London film festivals, which shares the story of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter, who was adopted into a white family and raised with no knowledge of her Native American parentage. The film follows Kendra as she discovers her Native identity, finds her birth mother, April, also a Native adoptee, and returns to her homelands in Washington State.

This issue is in the news as the state of Texas and several families adopting Native American children are challenging a federal law aimed at preventing Native American children from being separated from their extended families and their tribes. The US Supreme Court heard arguments in November in a case, Brackeen vs. Haaland, that many Native people fear may have broader implications for and self-governance. The Supreme Court will issue a decision by June 30, 2023.
