2024 State Conference

This session provides an overview of the historical context for Native American tribal relations with the United States government, with additional information about the 11 federally recognized Minnesota Tribes. Attendees will explore the evolution of the federal government's interactions with tribes, clarifying the basis of Native American rights. We will then focus particularly on the tribes in Minnesota, especially in relation to tribal jurisdiction vs. state jurisdiction and practice tips from our experiences appearing in tribal courts. This foundational knowledge is essential as we navigate the complexities of tribal law and state jurisdiction.
