Native America Calling: U.S. Supreme Court decisions and Indian Country
Wednesday, June 29, 2022
Supreme Court decisions and Indian Country
The U.S. Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v. Wade, a decision that protected the right for women to choose to have an abortion.
The decision sparked protests and praise on either side of the political divide. When a conservative Supreme Court can revisit and overturn an important decision like Roe v. Wade, how likely is it they’ll revisit cases like McGirt or those which affect Two-Spirit rights or tribal sovereignty?
Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce talks with legal experts to find out how Indian Country is affected by decisions of the Supreme Court — and could be affected by future decisions.

Matthew Fletcher (Ottawa and Chippewa), law professor at the University of Michigan Law School and author of the “Turtle Talk” blog
Ann Tweedy, professor at the University of South Dakota School of Law
