What is Federal Anti-Indian Law? [video]
A panel presentation on Christian Discovery and White Supremacy at Syracuse University
IN THIS POST: Panelists discuss Christian Discovery and White Supremacy in Federal Anti-Indian Law at a Conference at Syracuse University on December 10, 2023, organized by the Department of Religion Doctrine of Discovery Project.
PANELISTS:
Paula Johnson, Syracuse University College of Law, Chair
Joseph J. Heath, Onondaga Nation General Counsel
Steven T. Newcomb, Indigenous Law Institute/Original Free Nations
Peter d’Errico, University of Massachusetts Amherst
VIDEO IS 45 MINUTES
The video title was inspired by Peter d’Errico’s Federal Anti-Indian Law: The Legal Entrapment of Indigenous Peoples (Bloomsbury, September 2022).
This is great. Perhaps the most succinct and lucid presentation on the subject of “federal Indian law”--which my friend Steve Russell used to call “federal Indian control law” and which after this presentation will increasingly become known as “federal anti-Indian law”--the best short presentation that is available on this subject that I am aware of. It’s less than fifty minutes and should be required viewing in every law school as well as seen in college courses throughout the country and by concerned citizens everywhere.
Peter, your company is my company. You have hit the mark, whatever may be the view from the point of launch. Be well, friend.
