Very excited to have this out in the world! Head on over to bluer skies 🦋 and follow me if you want a thread about its main points and future commentary on all things Indian law and legal history!
This month, we published Issue 6 of Volume 139 at harvardlawreview.org/archive…!
Our April print edition feature a @tannerallread article titled “Indigenous Constitutionalism" (harvardlawreview.org/print/v…).
Some happy news for your feed: @joshstickney and I got hitched! 💍

It was exciting, surprising, and - if I'm honest - scary, to be invited to write the Foreword to this year's @HarvLRev Supreme Court issue. Those who have come before are giants in the field. And this past Term was a wild one. harvardlawreview.org/print/v… (1/x)
Was a busy day here at Penn with a talk @mcneilcenter and a guest lecture in Sarah Gronningsater’s History of American Law class, but had so much fun with @pennlaw and @PennHistory faculty and students!
It's a big #LegalHistory day here @pennlaw/@PennHistory! We're hosting @gauthamrao at the Legal History Workshop (presenting on "White Power: Policing American Slavery"). W/ @mcneilcenter, we hosted a talk by @tannerallread earlier in the day. @itihaasnaama is also on campus!
A significant blow to the OK judiciary.
Mixed results for Okla Supreme Court. Justice Kauger, the driving force behind the Sovereignty Symposium since 1988, was narrowly defeated by Gov Stitt’s dark money campaign. The loss is a blow to those who believe in tribal sovereignty and a win for those who fear and oppose it. The most anti-tribe governor in state history will appoint her replacement. Two other targets- Gurich and Edmondson- won. I appreciate the service of all three. The work of defending & asserting tribal sovereignty must continue undaunted. #IndianCountry nondoc.com/2024/11/05/justic…
Absolutely floored to learn that my @ColumLRev article “The Specter of Indian Removal” won this year’s Cromwell Foundation Legal History Article of the Year Prize. I never imagined this would happen at this very early stage of my career.
Thanks to the Foundation and the selection committee for this honor and their support of my scholarship! If you want to read the article, you can find it here: columbialawreview.org/conten…

10 Things you can do on #IndigenousPeoplesDay besides just re-share this and other posts. 🧵
1. Support pro-Tribal organizations. Donate to orgs like @NCAI1944 and @NDNRights advocate for the rights of Native people and Tribes in the Courts and in Congress.

Just in: The first salmon in more than a century has been spotted swimming in waters long blocked by the Klamath River dams.
The return of the fish is seen as an early success for the dam-removal project... sfchronicle.com/california/a…
Since it's website official now, I'm excited to announce that I'm a new @UCLA_Law Richard M. Milanovich Fellow in Law! For the next 2 years, I will be working with @NNLPC_UCLALaw while continuing to write Native law and legal history scholarship.

And I'm so stoked to get to work alongside and be mentored by some amazing scholars in the Native law space who I have long admired: @angelarileyucla, @VanSchilfgaarde, @ksuenamu, and @MicaLlerandi. Very much looking forward to this next step in my academic journey!

The Klamath River is experiencing an amazing transformation. The remaining 3 of 4 dams are coming down. This winter, Yurok crews hand planted 8.5 tons of native seeds in the former reservoirs. Now, an array of locally adapted wildflowers & grasses cover much of the clay soil.

🚨New Article!

Tribal Representation and Assimilative Colonialism.

🧵Ever wondered why tribal governments--despite being entirely separate from states--don't get to send their own representatives to Congress? 1/8

Crews are dismantling Iron Gate, Copco 1 & J.C Boyle dams on the Klamath River. The project will reopen 400 miles of salmon habitat. For the 1st time in more than 100 years, fish are expected to spawn above the dams in 2024. The former reservoirs are already greening up.
This is exactly why certain senior historians are saying that nothing new is happening in US history right now and why they’re dead wrong 👇
Honored to be included in this @rachelshelden thread on “exceptional untenured” historians! There’s so much exciting work happening in 18th and 19th century U.S. history!

We are very sad to hear that Pulitzer Prize–winning author N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa) passed away last week. He was born on February 27, 1934, in Lawton, OK.
Sending our condolences to his family & friends 💚 May he rest in peace.
