Description

In this episode we chat with Riyaz Kanji, widely considered the leading trial and appellate litigator on behalf of Indian Nations and tribes across the country. He takes us on a journey through his storied career, from his beginnings in Indian law and the battles of the “Fish Wars” in the Pacific Northwest, to his monumental arguments before the United States Supreme Court on behalf of the Muscogee Nation in McGirt v. Oklahoma. You do not want to miss this “Conversation from our Reservation.”
