Gov. Whitmer on Supreme Court Ruling in Haaland v. Brackeen

Press Release

"I stand with Tribal Nations in celebrating today's Supreme Court ruling in Haaland v. Brackeen as a win for Native children and families. In addition to recognizing the inherent sovereignty of Tribal Nations, this decision upholds important federal efforts to right the wrongs committed against Native families in the past and clears a path for us all to continue that work into the future. The State of Michigan has developed strong government to government relationships with the federally recognized Tribes that call Michigan home. We are focused on mutual progress through effective collaboration on issues like child welfare that make a real difference in people's lives. Thanks to today's ruling that brought together justices across the ideological spectrum, we can continue our partnership and keep getting things done in the best interests of children and families."
