The U.S. Supreme Court is asked to review federal legal questions when they are in conflict between federal circuit courts, or it is an issue that is important. So you cannot simply appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, rather you ask them if they will review a legal issue for an opinion with a petition for a writ of certiorari.

Guest Essay. In early April of last year, I made a special trip to Washington, D.C., from Portland, Oregon, to research the archives pertaining to my community, the Apsáalooke.

Guest Opinion. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a pristine wilderness, and it is sacred land. Since time immemorial, it has sustained the Gwich’in people, who call the coastal plain “Iizhik Gwats’an Gwandaii Goodlit” -- the Sacred Place Where Life Begins. It’s also home to the Iñupiat, whose culture, health, and subsistence depend on the balance of this fragile ecosystem.

Guest Opinion. We are learning when the U.S. government entered into trust and treaty relationships with Indians Tribes as sovereign nations, the federal government instead used much of the money held in trust for Native people to forcibly relocate their children to boarding schools. The goal was to assimilate them. Many children never saw their families again, some died from malnutrition or disease or abuse, and others were taken at such a young age they no longer knew their families, languages, or homelands.
