A Supreme Court case asks whether Native American tribes are racial groups or political entities. The case, Brackeen v. Haaland, centers on a 4-year-old Navajo child who is currently living with a white couple in Texas. The couple is fighting with the Navajo Nation to adopt her and is pushing to overturn a law that says when a child who is eligible for tribal membership winds up in state foster care, the child should, whenever possible, be adopted by a tribal family. The case could depend on whether the Supreme Court finds that tribes are racial classifications rather than political ones — [a prospect that the tribes find deeply threatening](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlTBMlP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMS8wNy9oZWFsdGgvbmF0aXZlLWFtZXJpY2FuLWFkb3B0aW9uLWljd2EuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIyMTEwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03Njg0MCZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMTIzMzQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmNkJY5pYwcoVa1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). “It would put at risk every treaty, every property and political right and every power that Indian nations possess today,” said a professor of federal Indian law.
