Kekek Stark on Indian Policing
Kekek Jason Stark has [published “Indian Policing: Agents of Assimilation” in the Case Western Law Review. PDF
An excerpt:
In the wake of the protests calling for police reform, driven by the events surrounding the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Michael Brown, and so many others, including Cecil Lacy (Tulalip Tribes) and Rene Davis (Muckleshoot Indian Tribe), as well as the sexual assault at the hands of the police involving L.B. (Northern Cheyenne Tribe), I began to question the role and history that the police have played in Indian Country as agents of assimilation. While conducting research for this Article, it became apparent that following the enactment of the Indian Civil Rights Act, a lot of work and research was conducted on the status of tribal justice systems. Considering the recent events detailed above, this Article seeks to further that earlier analysis and ask the question: Where are we at with our efforts to re-indigenize Indian Country policing fifty years later? This Article attempts to begin to answer that question.

MHA Nation Prevails in Redistricting Lawsuit
On November 2, 2023, the North Dakota federal district court ruled in favor of the MHA Nation and North Dakota on motions for summary judgment. The Plaintiffs were alleging that the newly created MHA state legislative district was an illegal racial gerrymander. North Dakota’s 2021 redistricting plan resulted in the election of an MHA tribal member to the state legislature in 2022. The order means that the district will remain unchanged and MHA tribal member Representative Lisa DeVille will continue to serve as a state legislator.
