Native America Calling: The new limits on challenging federal actions
Wednesday, July 2, 2025
The new limits on challenging federal actions
The U.S. Supreme Court didn’t rule on the constitutionality of birthright citizenship, a legal challenge closely watched by Native Americans.
But their related decision in that case significantly changes the current practice in how all Americans can keep the federal government, corporations, and others from continuing actions with questionable constitutionality.
Tune in to review what’s at stake in the fight over birthright citizenship and how the high court’s ruling preventing further nationwide injunctions will alter how lawyers tackle Native issues from now on.
Also, learn about a legal settlement in Montana that aims to ensure schools adequately teach Native American history.
