Thank you to everyone who made it out yesterday for “Connecting Community: A Gathering an Opportunity for CLE”. It was a great way to kick-off Native American Heritage Month. We had over 40 people in attendance, and had some great speakers.

This event was the Section’s first in-person CLE since 2019. And it was great to connect with long-time friends and colleagues, practitioners of federal Indian law and Tribal law, law students and community members. We also had some Native people selling crafts. I bought two pairs of earrings.

The schedule was jam-packed and we had a lot of great presentations on Tribal sovereignty, Tribal courts, and Access to mental health services. We learned a lot about these topics from our excellent speakers.

I was able to close out the event with a presentation that included some movement, yoga, and breathing practices. I also included links to resources to help lawyers and legal professionals to support their mental health. I really appreciated the opportunity as well-being is a passion of mine.

We look forward to hosting additional events soon! Please consider joining the Indian Law Section.
