FIU Law Review Symposium on the History of S. Fla. Tribes
Here. A description:
This symposium examines the history of the present day Indian tribes in South Florida commencing with the early Seminole Wars. Indian tribes are uniquer governmental entities enjoying inherent sovereignty over a wide range of issues and conduct. The tribal nations in South Florida are no different. This Symposium explores the legal status of tribal governments through in-depth examination of their histories.

Fletcher spoke Tuesday at an MSU Diversity Week lunch about citizenship, along with my colleagues Veronica Thronson and Tiffani Darden. MSU law school Jeannette Lugo moderated, cuz it was getting rowdy:

University of Oklahoma Indian Law Conference
Norman — The University of Oklahoma College of Law, American Indian Law Review and OU Native American Studies Department is hosting its third annual symposium. This year’s “Tribal Sovereignty: A Global Perspective” symposium will highlight the issues indigenous peoples face at the international and regional levels. This includes the ability of indigenous peoples to assert their rights at the United Nations and the Organization of American States, in addition to the ability of tribes to engage economically on an international level.
“Woven into the fabric of the College, Native American Law is central to our strategic vision and an integral part of our curriculum. It is truly our privilege to host extraordinary world leaders to highlight significant issues facing indigenous peoples,” said Dean Joe Harroz.
