A quick digestible explanation of this "legal" doctrine and why it isn't legal.

This is the first of the racist, slave era "legal" doctrines that still drive US law and policy regarding Native peoples.

LTN #590 12-17-24; I watched Sugarcane, the film. Now let's talk residential schools! 17.12.2024 1:02:00 ↓
