Description

In this episode, co-hosts Kasey and Chloe talk about an important case in the Supreme Court this January. This case is so significant that could potentially be used to overrule the Indian Child Welfare Act and even threaten indigenous sovereignty. This case is Brackeen vs. Haaland, the result of a lawsuit in 2018 in which the federal district court of Texas ruled that the Indian Child Welfare Act is unconstitutional on the basis of it being racist to white people. A panel from the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, and the case has now been sent to the Supreme Court. Kasey and Chloe also talk about IWCA (the Indian Child Welfare Act), what it is, and its impacts. *Note: This episode was created in December 2021, so the reason some current dates are referred to in the future is due to the episode’s recording date.*
