The Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights annual conference for 2025, this symposium will highlight some of the legal issues that American Indigenous communities are facing across the country, with a special focus on those faced here in Texas. We will be discussing issues like tribal rights, healthcare, environmental issues, and more. The spring issue of our journal will also focus on Indigenous rights, and the authors featured in that issue will be centered throughout our conference. We hope to make this an enjoyable symposium for all who are interested!

There will be a panel of our spring issue authors who have written mainly on tribal sovereignty issues, including Professor Kekek Stark, Judge Gregory Smith, Law Student Crispin South, and one more author.
