The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled 5-4 that Oklahoma can prosecute non-Native-Americans in Indian country, clawing back part of its 2020 decision recognizing nearly half of the state as a reservation.
The case renewed a sharp divide on the court over the U.S. treatment of Native American tribes and its legal repercussions today. The majority opinion by Justice Brett Kavanaugh took a limited view of the sovereignty the tribes retain in 21st-century America, while the dissent by Justice Neil Gorsuch, recounting centuries of broken promises to the Indians, asserted that the court should today enforce long-ignored treaties.
