Tribal Law Study, 2021-2023

The goals of the Tribal Law Study, begun in 2021 and completed in 2023:

  1. to educate ourselves about the complexities of enforcing Indian law and the complexities of supporting tribal sovereignty,
  2. to identify possible legislative solutions for supporting tribal sovereignty and tribes at the state level,
  3. to develop a position for advocacy.
 

In studying this topic, the committee has looked at four specific areas: health care, education, economic development, and criminal justice.
