Native America Calling: U.S. Supreme Court decisions and Indian Country
Wednesday, June 29, 2022
Supreme Court decisions and Indian Country
The U.S. Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v. Wade, a decision that protected the right for women to choose to have an abortion.
The decision sparked protests and praise on either side of the political divide. When a conservative Supreme Court can revisit and overturn an important decision like Roe v. Wade, how likely is it they’ll revisit cases like McGirt or those which affect Two-Spirit rights or tribal sovereignty?
Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce talks with legal experts to find out how Indian Country is affected by decisions of the Supreme Court — and could be affected by future decisions.
