UNM Symposium on United States v. Sandoval
Here is the notice:
UNM symposium on United States v Sandoval
The description:
On October 20, 1913, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in United States v. Sandoval, a case that addressed whether Congress could prohibit the introduction of intoxicating liquor into Santa Clara Pueblo lands notwithstanding the admission of New Mexico to statehood. The Court validated Congress’s power by virtue of the “Indian” status of the Pueblo people and their homelands, establishing an immensely important precedent asserting broad federal authority in Indian affairs generally. This symposium highlights three themes tied to Sandoval ’s legacy: Federal Authority in Indian Country, Indian Identity and Status, and the Rights of Defendants in Tribal Court. An additional related theme, Liquor in Indian Country, will be explored in the associated conference for tribal public defenders and Indian law clinicians, which will interweave with the symposium. This symposium is the third in a series of anniversary symposia commemorating landmark Indian law cases and legislation.
Conference Announcement: “The Science, Practice & Art of Restoring Native Ecosystems Conference”
The Science, Practice & Art of Restoring Native Ecosystems Conference
Where: Kellogg Center in East Lansing, MI
When: Friday and Saturday, January 17 and 18, 2014
The 2014 Science, Practice & Art of Restoring Native Ecosystems conference will focus on Field and Place Based Conservation – Applying Techniques That Work at the Community Level.
Field and Place Based Conservation can make real and sustainable positive changes in our natural world. We must set the goals for our conservation actions by standards that are meaningful and significant to our local communities. Building our work around established social, cultural and economic goals makes caring for our natural resources a plan that’s easier to support, whether through time, dollars, votes, or goodwill. Furthermore, it’s by bringing together different people and multiple organizations in collaborative conservation at a local level that we facilitate the global adoption of community-based action, resulting in widespread improvement to lands and waters we all care about.
