Ethics Center Panel: Federal Indian Environmental Law
Mar 2024
07
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, "The relationship between federally recognized tribes and the United States is one between sovereigns, i.e., between a government and a government.
This “government-to-government” principle, which is grounded in the United States Constitution, has helped to shape the long history of relations between the federal government and these tribal nations."
Attorneys Kayla Gebeck Carroll (Holland & Knight), Jamie L. Konopacky (Stafford Law),Matthew L. Murdock (Sonosky, Chambers, Sachse, Endreson & Perry), Pilar M. Thomas (Quarles & Brady), and Wilda Wahpepah (Sheppard Mullin), will discuss their work with Tribal entities and the US Government on issues of environmental protection.
This event is being sponsored by the Ethics Center, and co-sponsored by the Environmental Studies Department, and the Philosophy Department.
