A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision is making waves in law enforcement circles. The case—Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta—concerns who prosecutes crimes committed on tribal land when non-Native American suspects are involved.  

Today on the pod, we'll talk about what this case means for tribal sovereignty here in Michigan. As you’ll hear, things just got a lot more complicated.

GUESTS:

Jocelyn Fabry, chief judge for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians  

Kirsten Matoy Carlson, professor of law and adjunct professor of political science at Wayne State University.
