On November 17 at 12:50 PM Pacific, Gabe Galanda will deliver a lecture at Berkeley Law School titled, “Deploying CRT to Revive Indian Civil Rights & Renew Indigenous Kinship Rules.”
Through a Critical Race Theory lens, Gabe will the legal origins of modern Tribal neocolonial practices, including blood quantum, enrollment moratoria, disenrollment, and per-capitalism.
He will explain how Indigenous kinship rules have been replaced by federal Indian rights since the late 18th Century, and how those rights have been decimated by the courts since the U.S. Supreme Court's Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez decision in 1978.
Gabe will call for the renewal of Indigenous kinship rules systems as a way to protect and sustain Tribal nationhood and Indigenous belonging.
