the biggest problem I see with Castro-Huerta is that the Court erroneously concluded that state governments somehow have a greater interest in protecting Native victims than their own Tribal Nations.

The Public Record
We are hearing the need to get more resources to support tribal courts, to beef up DOJ, and BIA, and law enforcement.
I believe that this decision by the majority of our Supreme Court is a direct affront to tribal sovereignty and to Tribal Nationhood.
Obviously, this is the most important and pressing question of the day is how do we meet our goal of reducing our carbon emissions by 2035, 2040 so that we don't cross this catastrophic tipping point?
Part of being able to take effective action on climate change requires that we know that the methods and the tactics that we're using to tackle emissions and sinks is actually effective.
In New Mexico we have a saying that 'agua es vida,' water is life because it is the vital resource in the arid Southwest upon which everything else depends.
Climate action cannot wait, and we must take decisive action now to address both the causes of climate change and its impacts.
Climate change is already here, it's already on the ground, it's already impacting our communities.
That was so important for ensuring that our Tribal nations could control access to the ballot box.
