Honestly still in shock by its placement, but my article (and job talk paper), “Indigenous Constitutionalism,” is officially out in the Harvard Law Review. A brief thread on this project🧵

It took me ten seconds to add it to my course on Constitutionalism. Congrats, and I'm excited to engage with your work.

In this piece, I point out how tribal constitutions have been overlooked in scholarship on American constitutional law and history, and I construct the concept of “Indigenous constitutionalism” to bring together the rich constitutional history and theories of Native nations in the U.S.

The heart of the article is uncovering the 200-year history of written tribal constitutions and how Native nations have used these foundational documents to continually assert their sovereignty, construct hybrid legal orders, and resist U.S. colonialism.

This will eventually be a book too, right?

I hope so! Or maybe even a series of books, with the initial one focusing on the first Choctaw and Cherokee constitutions.
Will be a few years though 😅
