The U S Supreme Court’s disconcerting decision in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta will go down in history as a ruling against legal precedent and the basic principles of federal Indian law. It is another broken promise from the federal government. A 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court has ignored its sacred responsibility to uphold the law when it comes to federal treaties with Native sovereign nations.

We know this decision is a betrayal to our sovereign nations, and it will have far reaching impacts on all federally-recognized tribes. 🪶
That didn't take long! 🙄
