Indian Law & History Lecture Series

This lecture series, hosted by the University of Maine School of Law, provides vital programming for the benefit of the legal community in the State of Maine, the Tribes in Maine, and the public. The purpose of this event is to offer opportunities to learn from experts about the field of federal Indian law as it applies in Maine and across the United States.

  • 2023: Lenny Powell, Associate with Jenner & Block, delivered Maine Law’s Third Annual Indian Law and History Lecture. One of Powell’s main areas of practice is tribal law. He was part of the team that won a landmark 2023 Supreme Court case upholding tribal rights and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). He detailed the work and arguments that went into keeping ICWA in tact.

Fletcher, Professor of Michigan State School of Law, and Sherri Mitchell, attorney, author, and Executive Director of the Land Peace Foundation.
