Abstract
Leading the rights of nature movement worldwide are Indigenous communities aspiring to enshrine legal protections for Indigenous values and create an environmentally sustainable future. This poster explores the first Tribal court case in the United States by a federally recognized tribe, The White Earth Nation in Minnesota. By examining the achievements of White Earth, the challenges they face in the context of the global rights of nature movement, and with the perspective of Joe LaGarde, founder of the Niibi Center for the Rights of Nature, we find future success depends on strategic partnerships with communities in the global south and local U.S. governments.
