Tribal groups challenge use of boarding schools in SCOTUS case
April 9, 2025
Three national Native organizations filed an amicus brief on April 7 in two Oklahoma education cases now before the U.S. Supreme Court. Represented by the Native American Rights Fund, the organizations are pushing back against claims that federal Indian boarding schools set a precedent for public funding of religious education. The groups say this misrepresents a system rooted in cultural genocide.
