- The Brackeen majority opinion is very important. But I also think we should pay special attention to Justice Gorsuch's concurrence. A 🧵 on how Gorsuch brings clarity to Indian law while setting up significant issues to be resolved: (1/14)

- Replying to @tannerallreadFirst, Gorsuch rightly lays out the awful history involving the taking of Indian children and how ICWA was enacted as a response to this history. You cannot truly understand ICWA and its validity without this historical context. (2/14)
- Replying to @tannerallreadIn his concurrence, Gorsuch proves that he is the Justice who is the most serious on engaging with Indian law and Native history. Now, we just have to see where his call for aligning Indian law with the original understanding of the Constitution will take us. (14/14)
