Prof. Borrows Speaks on WTIP Radio on New White Earth Constitution

Professor John Borrows spoke on WTIP North Shore Community Radio about the new White Earth constitution. On Nov. 19, almost 80 percent of the voting members of the White Earth Nation, part of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, approved the new constitution, which, among other things, establishes a new rule for determining tribal membership. The White Earth Nation will be the first band in Minnesota to do away with the so-called "blood quantum" law for tribal membership.
