Oneida Chief Judge Winifred Thomas told the Supreme Court this week that the results have been excellent. She said the tribal courts try very hard to create a win-win situation, even though the parents have agreed to disagree.

Thomas says the transfers to tribal courts are important, because she believes many Native Americans don’t get a fair shake in circuit courts.
