This discussion will also touch upon items that practitioners may encounter during their practice, including collateral consequences. The immigration portion will be followed by a historical overview of the basic tenets of Federal Indian Law, including issues of land tenure, sovereignty, and jurisdiction.  The discussion will also cover the Supreme Court’s recent application of these principals in the historic McGirt v. Oklahoma case, and the multiple ways in which the media has misinterpreted and misreported this important precedent.
