Indian Rights: 7 Game Changing Decisions with Professor Stephen Pevar

Saturday, May 18th
1:00PM – 3:00PM

Native American tribes and citizens have a unique place in the United States’ legal system. Tribes are considered “domestic dependent nations”, while individuals may be citizens of both the United States and their tribal nation. Stephen Pevar, retired Senior Staff Attorney for the ACLU and current professor of Advanced Federal Indian Law at Yale Law School, will take us through seven key Supreme Court decisions that have shaped this complex legal landscape. There will be a book signing following the lecture, and Professor Pevar will have copies of the newly released fifth edition of his book, The Rights of Indians and Tribes, for sale. 

This event is the first in a series commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act that examines the complex history and current reality of Native American citizenship and rights.

This lecture will also be broadcast live over Zoom. If attending in person, copies of Professor Pevar’s book will be available for purchase.
