10th Circuit Historical Society - From Littlechief to McGirt: Oklahoma, Indian County, and the law
The Tenth Circuit Historical Society and the Northern/Eastern Oklahoma chapter of the Federal Bar Association are pleased to offer a hybrid CLE seminar on the legal history of Indian country in Oklahoma.
The program will feature a presentation by Patti Palmer Ghezzi, former Assistant Public Defender for the Western District of Oklahoma, Arvo Mikkanen, Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District and Senior Counsel for Tribal Relations for the Western District of Oklahoma, and Geoffrey Standing Bear, Principal Chief of the Osage Nation. Ms. Ghezzi represented the petitioner in Murphy v. Royal, the Tenth Circuit case that held that the Creek Reservation had not been disestablished. She was counsel of record in Sharp v. Murphy in the Supreme Court. Mr. Mikkanen serves as the de facto historian of federal Indian law in Oklahoma, and will speak about the early cases of Littlechief and Abdoah. As a practicing lawyer, Chief Standing Bear represented tribes in some of the first Indian gaming cases in Oklahoma, including in Indian Country U.S.A. Our presenters will tell the story of how decades of litigation led to the Supreme Court’s decision in McGirt.
The program will be moderated by United States District Judge Sara Hill.
Free for all FBA Members, Historical Society Members, Court Staff, and Law Students. All others $25.
