SCOTUS Review : U.S. v. Dann (1985)

In 1974, Mary and Carrie Dann were charged with trespassing for grazing their animals without a permit. The Dann Sisters argued that they did not need a permit since their family held aboriginal title to this land. The federal government pointed to a 1962 judgment that awarded the Western Shoshone $26 million for the land's title. The Dann Sisters countered that the judgment had yet to be paid.

On February 20, the 40th anniversary of U.S. v. Dann, the Indian Nations Gaming & Governance Program welcomes Julie Cavanaugh-Bill, Mary Gibson, and Fermina Stevens to discuss this seminal case. Registration is free, and virtual attendance is available.
