Aja DeCoteau, YCEJ Advisory Board member & Executive Director of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, James Diamond, YCEJ Senior Counselor for Indigenous Programs & Visiting Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, and Gerald Torres, YCEJ Faculty Director & Professor of Law at Yale Law School published an op-ed in Newsweek titled “#LandBack Offers Common Ground for Native Tribes, Trump Administration.”

“We cannot be sanguine about the challenges ahead. For Indian Tribes, there is great trepidation about the coming era. But this isn’t about any one administration; as one Tribal leader said, the Indigenous people of the U.S. have survived 60 presidential elections, and will survive this one. But Tribes seek more than survival—for their communities and for the planet.”
