Tribal Sovereignty

As a woman, the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg feels overwhelmingly profound.  Living in the Pacific Northwest, I often find myself searching for a ray of sun breaking through the clouds.  As sunlight hits the waters of the Puget Sound, it brings a sense of anticipation for the future.  A ray of hope can be found in Federal Judge Diane Humetewa, the first Native American woman and enrolled tribal member to serve as a federal judge in history.  And she was one of RBG’s picks for the next nominee of the U.S. Supreme Court.
