Register for "Native American Citizenship and Sovereignty"

November 8, 2024, 8:30 AM CT - 2:30 PM CT | Hosted by: The Oakridge School | Arlington, TX | Discussion Leader: Jace Weaver

Native Americans occupy an anomalous position in the United States. Federally recognized tribes each are separate sovereigns within the federal system. States hold no authority over them except what Congress may give them. Their enrolled members are dual citizens-of the United States and of their tribal nation. By virtue of the Constitution and the federal government's responsibilities toward them it means the government can do things for and to Native Americans that it cannot do to any other citizen, This seminar will examine this situation in both historical and contemporary context.

This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary documents as the only readings.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
