In late June, the Supreme Court handed down a decision that expands the states' authority over Native land. The conservative court ruled 5-4 in favor of Oklahoma in the case, allowing states to charge non-Indians who commit crimes against Indians on tribal land.According to Justice Neil Gorsuch, who wrote the dissent, the ruling in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta is "an embarrassing new entry into the anti-canon of Indian law ... Truly, a more ahistorical and mistaken statement of Indian law would be hard to fathom."We discuss how the ruling changes how crimes will be prosecuted and by whom. We also talk about the larger implications for the meaning of Indigenous sovereignty.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?
