- This Land PodcastALM – as referred to in court documents – is a Navajo and Cherokee toddler. When he was a baby, a white couple from the suburbs of Dallas wanted to adopt him, which the Indian Child Welfare Act (1978) prohibited. So they got one of the most powerful corporate law firms in the United States to sue that the law was unconstitutional. This case doesn’t just impact the future of one child, or even the future of one law. It threatens the entire legal structure defending Native American rights. The second season of This Land is a timely exposé about how the far right is using Native children to quietly dismantle American Indian tribes and advance a conservative agenda.
