M'Intosh (1823) addresses Native American landownership and transfers. It conveys how harmful the "Doctrine of Discovery" was and is. avacw129 https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009605490 2022-01-24 19:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009605490 Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) defined the Cherokee nations as a "domestic dependent nation" but classified the relationship between the tribes and the U.S. government as a ward and their guardian. This meant that the govt could control and manage native lands, but must also fulfill their treaty obligations to meet the needs of the tribes. avacw129 https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009614815 2022-01-24 19:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009614815 Worcester v. Georgia (1832) reinforced the tribes' relationship with the federal government. It questioned whether or not the Georgia state government could "regulate intercourse between citizens of its state and members of the Cherokee nation." The Court ruled that Georgia did not have this right. avacw129 https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009623325 2022-01-24 19:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009623325 What avacw129 https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009636561 This movement was primarily about securing and maintaining Native people's right to vote.  This also included citizenship within the U.S. and the protection of tribal sovereignty. The Native American Rights movement also focuses on economic, educational, and environmental justice.

Some goals of this movement included receiving the right to vote, preserving sacred sites and artifacts, monetary benefits from casinos that currently only benefit non-natives and corporations, facing several public health challenges (such as accessibility to care, drug abuse, etc.), and increasing access to secondary and higher education.

This movement is trying to achieve equity for Indigenous people, not just equality.

The founders included Russell Means, Dennis Banks, Clyde Bellecourt, Eddie Benton Banai, and George Mitchell. They believed and prioritized militant confrontation with the U.S. government.

The Supreme Court, however, has ruled in favor of tribal sovereignty and landownership for Native Americans a couple of times. 

Relevant court cases can be seen to the right.

While this movement is still ongoing, it has not been as successful as you may hope. Even today, Native Americans face inaccessibility to medical care, voting restrictions, poverty, and other long-term issues. ]]> 2022-01-24 19:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/avacw129/pitmq1dz6gxm10d0/wish/2009637912 California v.
