Laboratories of the Future: Tribes and Rights of Nature

Originally aired November 15, 2023

As part of the law school’s Native American Heritage Month programming, Dean Kronk Warner will discuss a paper she co-authored with Jensen Lillquist (Class of 2023), published in the California Law Review that compares the rights of nature in international, federal, state, and tribal contexts. The article explores what states and the federal government can learn from tribal governments in this space, as tribal governments, with their long history of rights of nature, are laboratories of innovation that can teach other sovereigns within the boundaries of the United States.
