The Ronald S. and Kathryn K. Christenson Lectureship in Politics and Law will happen on Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 4 p.m. in Wallenberg Auditorium. Dr. Kevin Washburn from the University of Iowa College of Law will present alecture, “Land Back for Indian Tribes.” In the current era of social justice, calls to return land to Indian tribes have increased markedly. Landback has already been incorporated into federal policy in ways that some may find surprising. Dean Washburn will describe the moral basis for “landback,” describe some of the ways it happens as a part of routine federal Indian policy, and discuss some other restorative justice and conservation initiatives that are related. Finally, Washburn will provide some insights about landback that some may find surprising, including that landback efforts are not particularly partisan.
