Abstract

The article discusses recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions impacting tribal sovereignty, particularly in relation to the Indian Child Welfare Act and the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The case of Eagle Bear, Inc. v. Independence Bank highlights the struggle faced by tribes in maintaining true sovereign immunity. The text also delves into the implications of these legal battles on tribes' ability to govern themselves and achieve economic prosperity, as seen in examples from the Blackfeet Nation and Maine tribes. The conversation around tribal sovereignty and federal recognition remains ongoing and complex, with implications reaching beyond bankruptcy law. [Extracted from the article]
