UW Law’s Indian Law Symposium, an annual tradition for 39 years, will focus on the theme:

The program will be held in person at William H. Gates Hall, and available via Zoom.
Turtle Talk, published by Michigan State University College of Law, focuses on legal issues related to Indigenous peoples and tribal law. The blog covers topics such as tribal sovereignty, federal Indian law, tribal court decisions, Indigenous rights, and cultural preservation. It also discusses litigation involving Native American tribes, implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and policy developments affecting tribal communities. The blog provides updates on court cases, legal briefs, and scholarly discussions relevant to tribal governance and Indigenous legal advocacy.
