Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This poster's goal is to explain, through simple presentation of facts, how the legal framework established by the 2020 Supreme Court case McGirt v. Oklahoma represented a working example of how the United States can give power back to the tribes. Namely, by recognizing all the traditional territories of the tribes as Indian country, subject to the jurisdiction of the tribes rather than to that of the U.S. government.
