Today, June 22 – Measuring the gains and losses for tribal self-governance
Tribes abilities to deliver everything from law enforcement to adequate health care depend on their collective strength when it comes to self-governance. Several legal and policy decisions in the past year have bolstered self-governance in both big and small ways, including a full-throated affirmation of the Indian Child Welfare Act. There were some setbacks too. We’ll assess the state of tribal self-governance in advance of the upcoming self-governance conference in Tulsa, Okla.
GUESTS
Ron Allen (Jamestown S’klallam Tribe), tribal chairman for the Jamestown S’klallam Tribe
Lt. Gov. Chris Anoatubby (Chickasaw Nation), Lieutenant Governor of the Chickasaw Nation
Melanie Fourkiller (Cherokee and Choctaw), director of self-governance and health policy for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
