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.
