Current Trends in State-Tribal Relations

Date & Time: Mar 18, 2026 08:00 PM  EST

Description: A first-hand account of how tribes entered the modern intergovernmental system with renowned Indian law and policy scholar Sam Deloria.

Philip “Sam” Deloria
“Until the advent of the Great Society, tribal governments for the most part dealt only with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service within the federal government. But as domestic assistance programs grew in importance in the late 60’s, tribes soon saw the potential importance to tribal development of these other programs and agencies.”
