Great video! You present these complicated issues so well.

@@ferretyluv I don't doubt it. And I suspect it will cause chaos for many years to come. The seeds of the chaos are already sewn, though.

I think that would be a very big blow to the rule of law in the US.
To this day, Justice Gorsuch is likely one of the most pro-Native American Justices ever to sit on the court. It goes to show how important it is to have a Justice from the region (in this case, Colorado).

Here's an update for everyone. McGirt got another trial and in April 2024 he was sentenced to 30yrs in prison. McGirt at the time of sentencing is 75yrs old
Eastern Oklahoman here. This decision also opened up a lot of other issues for the state. For instance in order to have all bases covered we now have two types of police officers. Regular troopers then light-horsemen for Native Americans. It leads to situations where if a native commits a crime and the police apprehend him they have to wait for a light-horseman to arrive before they can arrest or cite the perpetrator. It’s expensive, inefficient, and promotes over-policing. I also have a former friend who is serving 20 years of federal time for murdering a Native American, whereas if it was anyone else it would have been a state sentence.
So basically more government bureaucracy overlapping on even simple matters.Encouraging even more conflict since state cops now feel little incentive to help out natives. Which will lead to more complaints on even the simplest of issues.
That's not exactly true. 1) Tribal nations in Eastern Oklahoma have had police forces for a long time, so don't make it seem like a new thing. 2) Tribal nations have been working with most local and county police (or sheriff's) departments to cross deputize officers. So not in all instances do they have to wait for Tribal police to come and arrest someone.
Yeah, I kind of vaguely noticed recently that on various digital maps you can suddenly see an outline around the entire eastern half of Oklahoma. I figured it probably had something to do with Native American Land but didn't think too deeply about it. Great vid!
@@iammrbeatwhich probably meant his great-great-great-great-however many-grandparents lived before about 1830 in the area where I grew up, which is centered on Muscogee County, GA (we spell it with the “c” for some reason). I recently went to a stage production at the Springer Opera House in Columbus (which, incidentally, is coextensive with Muscogee County), and the back inside cover of the program contained a statement acknowledging the prior inhabitants of the land before the Treaty of Indian Springs of 1825 (which was negotiated by one chief acting independently from the rest of the nation, by my recollection) brought it under the state of Georgia, allowing for the creation of the city of Columbus and most surrounding towns. I was a bit surprised by the land acknowledgment, but it makes a bit of sense considering that Columbus/Muscogee County tends to vote Democratic (albeit narrowly) in elections, given its urbane and diverse population (probably less than 40% of folks there are listed as white). My home district (Georgia’s second; is split within Columbus) has even had the same Democratic congressman since 1993! Needless to say a land acknowledgment would certainly turn some heads coming from an institution based in the outlying counties, especially to the north (which tend to have more white people and higher average incomes), heck, even just from the affluent north of the city.
this is why i believe that one should be allowed to appeal directly to the Supreme court. Having to go through the states against a state law is a waste of time and I would go so far as to say a scam
Mr.Beat can you do a Top 10 Worst Laws Passed By The United States Government. Also can you do a Top 10 Worst Policies Enacted By The Government Of America Including The Senate.
For policies, manifest destiny would be a great one to cover. On one hand, it's the bedrock of why there are 50 United States today. On the other hand, it was the justification given to colonize more land west at the cost of the Natives. Same with the Monroe Doctrine which is the centerpiece of American influence in Latin America.
Gorsuch understands American Indian law better than the other Justices, right or left. It's a great illustration of why SCOTUS needs people with differing backgrounds, both personally and in their legal career. Finally having a former public defender is a very good thing.
I’m a Choctaw native in eastern Oklahoma, on tribal land (Choctaw county), and I still have yet to understand how all of this works lol Edit: specifically, what happens if a non-tribal LEO pulls you over or tries to arrest you. I’ve heard they can; I’ve heard they can’t. Luckily I haven’t personally found out yet.
3:18 Always remember that no matter how horrendous the person; they all have the same rights. Were Hitler a USA citizen livin on USA soil he wud have all the rights granted to any other such person; no matter how horrible a person he was We hold these rights to be INALIENABLE.
As someone who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I definitely heard about this case. Despite what some people on the internet might claim, this really didn't change anything for the vast majority of people. It's only really about court jurisdictions and such. The only noticeable change has been that now Google Maps shows the boundaries of most of these "reservations" now (labeled as the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Osage Reservation, and Seminole Nation). I happen to live right within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, just next to the Cherokee Nation boundary. The most obvious difference between these areas is which tribe's name is on the casinos. Even though Native Americans tend to be worse off financially than other races, modern Oklahoma mostly tries to glorify their Native American heritage and history (hence "NATIVE AMERICA" on their license plates and Native American symbols on their flag; and 3 of our 5 House Reps claiming Native ancestry). Oklahoma's Native American history really sets it apart from most other states (especially its neighbors) and makes it kind of unique. And yes, we ARE taught about the Trail of Tears and the Tulsa Race Massacre in history class in public schools (or at least I was in Broken Arrow in the late 90s). They also have public memorials and museums dedicated to these tragedies and no evidence I can see of anyone trying to hide our ugly past, despite this being an extremely conservative solid Republican state (which I dislike).
Awwww, why did you have to ruin it with the conservative jab after giving our state some nice facts. Maybe all those things you like are because the state is conservative leaning? Why be hating?
If you don’t like it you can always move to a liberal state. Either way, as you have noticed we aren’t as divided as you think. People whine where I live in Florida about the banning of the College Board’s AA History class, but seem to ignore our schools still teach many of the same ideas in that class (including slaves developing skills they’d later use as freedmen) and more importantly our governor signed laws allowing the teaching of historical racial issues in the state like the Ocoee race riot.
@@sharmullins3894 as someone who lives in an area with a notable and high Native American population, the idea that the strength or prominence of the culture is because of the conservatives dominant in the area is laughable. If you were to give any credit to conservatives in the area, it would be to say that their behavior stokes the flames of resistance hotter than may be the case in other circumstances.
What a load of nonsense. I'm Native and I don't know what in the world you're talking about. Maybe it's that way were you live, but not in my neck of the woods.
@@sharmullins3894 because the governor himself has gone to war with the tribes in court since he was elected. There has never been this much tension between native tribes and the governor of Oklahoma. Speaking as a native of OKC who resides in Tulsa. And former journalist in the state. There was a new appeal and knucklehead move from the governor to push the tribes to be more vocal.
Hey, Mr. Beat. You should cover Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd in a future Supreme Court Briefs video. It was a case that Universal Pictures alleged that Nintendo's Donkey Kong was a trademark infringement of King Kong, both the plot and characters of which they claimed as their own. I want to know how it happened.
amazing video. the covid 19 pastor reference was hilarious. in my senior year of political science undergrad, i still watch these videos so i can keep up in debates 💪
Hey, would you be interested in following this up? There is a weird story going on with Tribal Tags currently, and some pretty hard rumors going around the tag issue is happening because Stitt is furious about the McGirt ruling. There is a compact set to expire by the end of the year, and Negotiations seem to be at a standstill. I like how you covered this story very objectively, and would like to see more.
Not a lawyer, but I think the statute of limitations needs to pass before charges are filed to be relevant, not necessarily before the trial is over. Also, I'm pretty sure there's no statute of limitations on murder.
Why is it seen as problematic to have native Americans tried under state courts? Are there differently laws that apply to natives’ lands? Maybe state laws don’t apply there?
because reservations are treated as sovereign territory which can make their laws. so a state court enforcing state law on a sovereign reservation is a breach of that sovereignty
@@L333gok the point of a reservation is that operate like one. they are an ethnic group thats been screwed over countless times. so they deserve their own say in how they run their reservation
United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 says Congress has the sole power over matters ("To regulate commerce with") between the US and foreign countries, among the different states, and with the Indian tribes. For example, New Mexico and other states can not require hunters and fishers to buy a state license to hunt or fish on Indian lands. The tribes can require a tribal license. The Federal government could require a Federal license.
I think it's important to note that Oklahoma's lawyers argued that the Muscogee Nation didn't exist anymore, so if they won, that reservation would've been totally dissolved, and likely so would the other big reservations in Oklahoma.
You should cover U.S. V. Washington. It was never argued in the Supreme Court but the Supreme Court confirmed the decision when it choose to deny the appeal and its the strongest court case we have when it comes to supporting tribal rights.
Honestly, I firmly believe Native Americans should have representation in Congress. Since, they're apart of the nation. If we have to try Native Americans in federal courts they should have federal representation.
I think the same treaty that led to the Trail of Tears for the Cherokees (The Treaty of New Echota) says they are entitled to a Delegate to the United States House of Representatives, like DC and the territories get (Puerto Rico calls theirs a Resident Commissioner). I believe the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek (U. S. and Choctaws leading to the Choctaw Trail of Tears) gives the Choctaw the same right. Neither the Cherokees nor Choctaws avail themselves of that right. They probably should.
Strangely, when I typed in “Mr. Beat” into the TH-cam search bar, I couldn’t find his channel. But when I intentionally misspelled it by typing in “Mr. Beet”, his channel popped right up. 🤷♂️ Update. His channel now shows up when you search for it with the correct spelling. That was weird before. Why am I commenting this and telling you all about the weird search glitch? That’s a good question.
I agree with the majority opinion in this instance. If this has “shaken things up” in Eastern Oklahoma, the US federal government should seek to renegotiate the terms of their treaties with the relevant tribal authorities, rather than trying to unilaterally undermine those treaties. The people being governed by these laws and treaties deserve to have a say in how there governed by them.
Reading Justice Gorsuch’s logic and way of thinking about the law is one why he’s my favorite sitting justice. This case in particular stands out in that regard.
The Sick Chicken Case of 1935! I had to study it as a rookie federal investigator in 1990 about the growth of federal regulatory power during the 1930s.
If you were sitting on death row and were afraid to die, you would be motivated as well. What else do they have to keep themselves occupied? The vast majority of them are better read and study the laws and legal system procedures better than the majority of lawyers.
This was a wierd trial to learn about. The more i think about it the more i wonder if they made the right choice, because if the precedebt set is that native american land isnt part of the country(wich it seens to be inplying imo) then whats to stop then from splitting off, or trying to form a new state?
Oh, there goes our *one hundred* senators, then. It was such a nice, clean number to have, and we had it going for the last sixty years lol But may as well let it happen; to keep the purity of number you’d have to merge the Dakotas, and the few people living there would object.
@@scarlet_phonavis6734The Natives, nor their ancestors agreed willingly to become citizens of the republic, they were forced at gunpoint to become its subjects. Entirely different scenarios.
Mr. Beat basically started rapping about Oklahoma City at 0:07- stopped, and then talked about a guy named "Jimcy McGirt." Big missed opportunity! Jimmy rhymes with MC, and McGirt has MC literally there already. I'm so mad about the dumbest things!
this ^ Huey Long is super interesting because sometimes he is described almost as a dictator of Louisiana. Sometimes he seems populist, sometimes socialist and sometimes quasi-fascist and sometimes all of the above, but a deep dive into his whole deal would be cool
i think this was probably the correct decision. we have to disconnect ourselves from the nature of the crimes committed as, thats not what the case was about.
Castro-Huerta v Oklahoma makes sense. It may depend on the tribe, but at least with some South Dakota reservations, if a non- native person is charged with a crime on a reservation, they would get sent to county for pre trial detention and all court hearings.
So castro-Huerta only dealt with non-indian defendants against Indian victims. Typically those would be federal offenses. However, castro-Huerta established that states now have co-jurisdiction (despite the MANY years of suffering case law). Tribal courts and federal courts do not have and have not had jurisdiction over Non-Indian defendants with non-Indian victims.
Unfortunately, it's a state supreme court decision, not a U.S. Supreme Court, so I doubt it. But thanks for letting me know about it, it was an interesting read!
That would be great if all Americans received the same outcomes some get the “troubled adolescent-insane judgements” . Unfortunately some Americans receive a fairer trial compared to others.
Neil Gorsuch is by far the most interesting justice on the current court. Very sharp and with - at least - sometimes independent views. He is also an outspoken advocate for native american rights, which is surprising for a Trump appointed justice.
I wonder how the jurisdiction change is going to affect municipal operations for Tulsa. Could I still move there if I wanted to for some strange reason?
I was hoping if they were to be tried by the tribes themselves, in their "trials" would be their traditional equivalents of law and punishment, would they potentially get scalped instead of the injection?
Nah there's sentencing maximums pretty sure it's like 8 years for multiple crimes and 4 for a single incident. Felonies are different cause they get charged in federal court though.
This seems like it was intended to be a joke but the stereotypical reference to scalping was not appreciated. But also, there major crimes act(mca) guarantees that it would be a federal case. And actually the whole reason why the MCA was passed is because traditional practices of tribal justice to many tribes were less harsh than the Anglo-Saxon/American systems. See US v. Kagama (the US was unhappy that a man who committed murder wasnt being sentenced to death by the tribe). Most tribes focused more on restitution and compensation for victims than they did capital punishment.
Congress never revoked the treaties it signed with the Indian nations so therefore the state governments do not have jurisdiction over them. Simple as that.
I remember this case in real time back in '20, but I did not know that it was because a pedophile and murderer who emasculated his victim wanted a new trial even if the evidence was rock solid.
Writing as Brit, I find American legal stuff slightly crazy - but nevertheless very interesting and rather like a rolling series of "It's Your Move Now" episodes. However; in these two cases - it seems they were bang to rights guilty so only a mental exercise for the eagles - and I expect, quite lucrative. I'd love to know the reason why the death row guy cut his victim's bits off - did he just have a thing about bloke's bits or did the victim do something unmentionable with them?
I know I already posted a comment but I thought of a way to simplify it so it would be easier to understand. The reason I say McGirt was a huge win is because OKC was always more like “the capitol” from the hunger games. If McGirt was from OKC and then he assaulted a child from Tulsa then the state would have let him get away with it regardless of tribal affiliation. Just because they blatantly exploit and murder everyone from tribal land as much as they can get away with it’s important that the precedent was set that OKC does not always get to be in control of people outside it’s own city limits.
Genuine question, why is the term "Indian" still used? I still see it used in plenty of legal and geographical contexts, despite being taught that the term is incorrect all my live. Not attacking Mr. Beat or anyone, just curious why the language wasn't been changed in official connotations.
@@iammrbeat gotcha thanks for the reply! I am admittedly asking from the outside looking in, as I'm Canadian, thus I don't know what American Indians called themselves.
Slightly misleading, much of Oklahoma is still treaty land at least for the purpose of criminal prosecutions, unclear to what extent this would apply in other domains, since the issue being examined was does the tribes exist for the sake of criminal prosecutions. The answer was yes the tribes exist as a legal entity and as a group of people, the relevant laws (treaty and Congressional statute), and the legal principles together apply in the criminal law context. But they didn't speak to the other issues that would potentially come up. And that was the dissents main argument, you are going to break everything. And Gorsuch was like, that's the still the result commanded by the treaty's in question. Those treaties are still valid law, and here in this case we are examining the validity of this provision. Whatever other provisions say, we'll get there when we get there. (For example, if the tribe started choosing to legally evict everyone.... well, I don't know how that would work, because I don't know what the relevant treaty law says. Not only that but that might conflict with other laws passed in the meanwhile, so then we apply conflict of law principles. But if the tribes attempted to do that, well Gorsuch says, we'll address it when it happens. That isn't an excuse to ignore them now.)
Doesn't this decision whatever its 'right past wrongs' reasoning might be create a very confusing legal situation?By default pitting states against the tribes on matters of jurisdiction for a lot more than just murder cases. Nevermind another issue. Can the FBI handle the extra caseload?Yes its a big institution but most feds are located elsewhere. If you create a situation in which crimes are unsolved because there's not enough cops then you'll only lead to more trouble in the future. The natives will complain that nobody cares when they're victimised the states will complain about how they're no longer able to handle even easy cases and the FBI will complain about not having the personell needed to investigate.
Im from Tulsa and am Native American, My sister was in Jail in Wagner co. for Drug Charges and when this passes all Natives were released from all county jails in Eastern OK. Most people here have Native American CDIB cards. You can tell by the license plates, ppl who have Native plates are not in the registry of the Federal Government so cannot be accessed by State or Municipal police. So they have no Idea who is in the car and will most likely face no charges that you cannot prosecute on a federal level. Most felonies get dropped and everybody knows this here.

Should take a look at Court Cases related to Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
"Haaland v. Brackeen" (2023) & "Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl" (2013)
To continue on the theme of Native Americans and the Surpreme court.
Also I enjoy your videos on the Supreme Court cases! Please make more, even if they are not related to the topics above.
I know you have mentioned that it's a low rated/viewership for these surpreme court videos, BUT I think it's more important than ever to have these videos created as you give a perspective that is easy to digest for the laymen The videos you create are unlike some other videos I have seen as the other videos on the web I have seen are very lets say legalese more than straight to the point. Your videos are a good intro for people to get an idea of how "the supreme law of the land" is interpreted when applied to very controversial subject matter.

Here's an update for everyone. McGirt got another trial and in April 2024 he was sentenced to 30yrs in prison. McGirt at the time of sentencing is 75yrs old
Eastern Oklahoman here. This decision also opened up a lot of other issues for the state. For instance in order to have all bases covered we now have two types of police officers. Regular troopers then light-horsemen for Native Americans. It leads to situations where if a native commits a crime and the police apprehend him they have to wait for a light-horseman to arrive before they can arrest or cite the perpetrator. It’s expensive, inefficient, and promotes over-policing. I also have a former friend who is serving 20 years of federal time for murdering a Native American, whereas if it was anyone else it would have been a state sentence.
So basically more government bureaucracy overlapping on even simple matters.Encouraging even more conflict since state cops now feel little incentive to help out natives. Which will lead to more complaints on even the simplest of issues.
One could argue that the state cops didn't want to help out the natives to start with, so this didn't really change anything.@@florinivan6907
That's not exactly true. 1) Tribal nations in Eastern Oklahoma have had police forces for a long time, so don't make it seem like a new thing. 2) Tribal nations have been working with most local and county police (or sheriff's) departments to cross deputize officers. So not in all instances do they have to wait for Tribal police to come and arrest someone.
@@dcoxseyfair point but it still made it way more difficult for law enforcement to respond to situations.
Can't they streamline this?
Yeah, I kind of vaguely noticed recently that on various digital maps you can suddenly see an outline around the entire eastern half of Oklahoma. I figured it probably had something to do with Native American Land but didn't think too deeply about it. Great vid!
Awesome video mr beat my family are Muskogee Native Americans and they are from Oklahoma!
Awesome...my college roommate was Muskogee as well. He was from the city of Muskogee even lol
@@iammrbeatwhich probably meant his great-great-great-great-however many-grandparents lived before about 1830 in the area where I grew up, which is centered on Muscogee County, GA (we spell it with the “c” for some reason).
I recently went to a stage production at the Springer Opera House in Columbus (which, incidentally, is coextensive with Muscogee County), and the back inside cover of the program contained a statement acknowledging the prior inhabitants of the land before the Treaty of Indian Springs of 1825 (which was negotiated by one chief acting independently from the rest of the nation, by my recollection) brought it under the state of Georgia, allowing for the creation of the city of Columbus and most surrounding towns.
I was a bit surprised by the land acknowledgment, but it makes a bit of sense considering that Columbus/Muscogee County tends to vote Democratic (albeit narrowly) in elections, given its urbane and diverse population (probably less than 40% of folks there are listed as white). My home district (Georgia’s second; is split within Columbus) has even had the same Democratic congressman since 1993! Needless to say a land acknowledgment would certainly turn some heads coming from an institution based in the outlying counties, especially to the north (which tend to have more white people and higher average incomes), heck, even just from the affluent north of the city.
I remember when this case was on the news and so many people thought that the eastern half of Oklahoma became a separate territory.
this is why i believe that one should be allowed to appeal directly to the Supreme court. Having to go through the states against a state law is a waste of time and I would go so far as to say a scam
Mr.Beat can you do a Top 10 Worst Laws Passed By The United States Government. Also can you do a Top 10 Worst Policies Enacted By The Government Of America Including The Senate.
I had already planned on it!
@@iammrbeat awesome I didn't even need to ask. I'm looking forward to seeing both of them.
He should do it in a Chills voice
There are a few laws I reckon would be there: Sedition Act of 1918, Emergency Quota Act of 1921, Smoot Hawley Tariff Act of 1929
For policies, manifest destiny would be a great one to cover. On one hand, it's the bedrock of why there are 50 United States today. On the other hand, it was the justification given to colonize more land west at the cost of the Natives.
Same with the Monroe Doctrine which is the centerpiece of American influence in Latin America.
Thank you Mr Beat! Really surprised of Gorsuch siding with Sotomayor and the gang!
Gorsuch understands American Indian law better than the other Justices, right or left. It's a great illustration of why SCOTUS needs people with differing backgrounds, both personally and in their legal career. Finally having a former public defender is a very good thing.
Hi everyone and I hope everyone has a great day. This video is very interesting and I live in Oklahoma.

Thanks, Mr. Beat! This was a hugely important case for Indian country, which hardly ever gets any coverage. 👍🏼🙏
I’m a Choctaw native in eastern Oklahoma, on tribal land (Choctaw county), and I still have yet to understand how all of this works lol
Edit: specifically, what happens if a non-tribal LEO pulls you over or tries to arrest you. I’ve heard they can; I’ve heard they can’t. Luckily I haven’t personally found out yet.

Lovely video Mr Beat, thank you for doing more videos on Native Americans! Cant wait to see more
As someone who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I definitely heard about this case. Despite what some people on the internet might claim, this really didn't change anything for the vast majority of people. It's only really about court jurisdictions and such. The only noticeable change has been that now Google Maps shows the boundaries of most of these "reservations" now (labeled as the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Osage Reservation, and Seminole Nation). I happen to live right within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, just next to the Cherokee Nation boundary. The most obvious difference between these areas is which tribe's name is on the casinos. Even though Native Americans tend to be worse off financially than other races, modern Oklahoma mostly tries to glorify their Native American heritage and history (hence "NATIVE AMERICA" on their license plates and Native American symbols on their flag; and 3 of our 5 House Reps claiming Native ancestry). Oklahoma's Native American history really sets it apart from most other states (especially its neighbors) and makes it kind of unique. And yes, we ARE taught about the Trail of Tears and the Tulsa Race Massacre in history class in public schools (or at least I was in Broken Arrow in the late 90s). They also have public memorials and museums dedicated to these tragedies and no evidence I can see of anyone trying to hide our ugly past, despite this being an extremely conservative solid Republican state (which I dislike).
Awwww, why did you have to ruin it with the conservative jab after giving our state some nice facts. Maybe all those things you like are because the state is conservative leaning? Why be hating?
If you don’t like it you can always move to a liberal state. Either way, as you have noticed we aren’t as divided as you think. People whine where I live in Florida about the banning of the College Board’s AA History class, but seem to ignore our schools still teach many of the same ideas in that class (including slaves developing skills they’d later use as freedmen) and more importantly our governor signed laws allowing the teaching of historical racial issues in the state like the Ocoee race riot.
@@sharmullins3894 as someone who lives in an area with a notable and high Native American population, the idea that the strength or prominence of the culture is because of the conservatives dominant in the area is laughable. If you were to give any credit to conservatives in the area, it would be to say that their behavior stokes the flames of resistance hotter than may be the case in other circumstances.
What a load of nonsense. I'm Native and I don't know what in the world you're talking about. Maybe it's that way were you live, but not in my neck of the woods.
@@sharmullins3894 because the governor himself has gone to war with the tribes in court since he was elected. There has never been this much tension between native tribes and the governor of Oklahoma. Speaking as a native of OKC who resides in Tulsa. And former journalist in the state. There was a new appeal and knucklehead move from the governor to push the tribes to be more vocal.
you have to appreciate the audacity to murder a man in cold blood and then argue that the case is being handled in the wrong building.
you make great videos mr beat! greeting from iran❤
Thank you so much!
Hey, Mr. Beat. You should cover Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd in a future Supreme Court Briefs video. It was a case that Universal Pictures alleged that Nintendo's Donkey Kong was a trademark infringement of King Kong, both the plot and characters of which they claimed as their own. I want to know how it happened.
amazing video. the covid 19 pastor reference was hilarious. in my senior year of political science undergrad, i still watch these videos so i can keep up in debates 💪

Hey! I suggested this! Thank you for for going over this and the subtleties regarding it.
Hey, would you be interested in following this up? There is a weird story going on with Tribal Tags currently, and some pretty hard rumors going around the tag issue is happening because Stitt is furious about the McGirt ruling.
There is a compact set to expire by the end of the year, and Negotiations seem to be at a standstill. I like how you covered this story very objectively, and would like to see more.
Mr. Beat is a good youtube history teacher. I like how he teaches us about USA
I feel like the pothole approach (waiting until someone complains to look into it) isn't the best way to fix major glitches in the legal system.
Yep
What would happen if a case like Mcgirts had reached its statue of limitations. Would they be allowed to retry him or would he have been freed?
Not a lawyer, but I think the statute of limitations needs to pass before charges are filed to be relevant, not necessarily before the trial is over.
Also, I'm pretty sure there's no statute of limitations on murder.
Why is it seen as problematic to have native Americans tried under state courts? Are there differently laws that apply to natives’ lands? Maybe state laws don’t apply there?
because reservations are treated as sovereign territory which can make their laws. so a state court enforcing state law on a sovereign reservation is a breach of that sovereignty
Similar thing with military bases probably
@@alberthoffman5297 Interesting. Seems like they should be considered their own state, I guess.
@@L333gok the point of a reservation is that operate like one. they are an ethnic group thats been screwed over countless times. so they deserve their own say in how they run their reservation
United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 says Congress has the sole power over matters ("To regulate commerce with") between the US and foreign countries, among the different states, and with the Indian tribes.
For example, New Mexico and other states can not require hunters and fishers to buy a state license to hunt or fish on Indian lands. The tribes can require a tribal license. The Federal government could require a Federal license.
I think it's important to note that Oklahoma's lawyers argued that the Muscogee Nation didn't exist anymore, so if they won, that reservation would've been totally dissolved, and likely so would the other big reservations in Oklahoma.
My favorite series 😊
Well I'm glad you dig it!
They knew they weren't losing anything of value.
You should cover U.S. V. Washington. It was never argued in the Supreme Court but the Supreme Court confirmed the decision when it choose to deny the appeal and its the strongest court case we have when it comes to supporting tribal rights.
Honestly, I firmly believe Native Americans should have representation in Congress. Since, they're apart of the nation. If we have to try Native Americans in federal courts they should have federal representation.
Are you stupid? They vote in elections too
I think the same treaty that led to the Trail of Tears for the Cherokees (The Treaty of New Echota) says they are entitled to a Delegate to the United States House of Representatives, like DC and the territories get (Puerto Rico calls theirs a Resident Commissioner). I believe the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek (U. S. and Choctaws leading to the Choctaw Trail of Tears) gives the Choctaw the same right.
Neither the Cherokees nor Choctaws avail themselves of that right. They probably should.
Great video! Learning something new each day! Ty!
Yeah same
Strangely, when I typed in “Mr. Beat” into the TH-cam search bar, I couldn’t find his channel. But when I intentionally misspelled it by typing in “Mr. Beet”, his channel popped right up. 🤷♂️
Update. His channel now shows up when you search for it with the correct spelling. That was weird before. Why am I commenting this and telling you all about the weird search glitch? That’s a good question.
I agree with the majority opinion in this instance. If this has “shaken things up” in Eastern Oklahoma, the US federal government should seek to renegotiate the terms of their treaties with the relevant tribal authorities, rather than trying to unilaterally undermine those treaties. The people being governed by these laws and treaties deserve to have a say in how there governed by them.
Ah finally, another episode of my favourite series, "High Tribunal Underwear"!
Reading Justice Gorsuch’s logic and way of thinking about the law is one why he’s my favorite sitting justice. This case in particular stands out in that regard.
A bit of a weird one, but could you cover A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States sometime?
The Sick Chicken Case of 1935! I had to study it as a rookie federal investigator in 1990 about the growth of federal regulatory power during the 1930s.
We’ll have to see how this one plays out over the years. Could make things quite confusing regarded crime in the cities in eastern OK
It already has made things confusing. It has been an absolute disaster, and tribal citizens have suffered the most from it.
I do wonder how these criminals keep themselves motivated to keep fighting in the courts even after 20+ years
If you were sitting on death row and were afraid to die, you would be motivated as well. What else do they have to keep themselves occupied? The vast majority of them are better read and study the laws and legal system procedures better than the majority of lawyers.
McGirt actually did it only to push to the case back to the Supreme Court. He pled guilty to his crimes.
This was a wierd trial to learn about. The more i think about it the more i wonder if they made the right choice, because if the precedebt set is that native american land isnt part of the country(wich it seens to be inplying imo) then whats to stop then from splitting off, or trying to form a new state?
Then so be it
@iammrbeat you know what honestly it would be pretty interesting wouldn't it
Oh, there goes our *one hundred* senators, then. It was such a nice, clean number to have, and we had it going for the last sixty years lol
But may as well let it happen; to keep the purity of number you’d have to merge the Dakotas, and the few people living there would object.

Not sure if you'll see this, but could you make a video about Huey Long? I think he's maybe the most interesting story in American political history
this ^ Huey Long is super interesting because sometimes he is described almost as a dictator of Louisiana. Sometimes he seems populist, sometimes socialist and sometimes quasi-fascist and sometimes all of the above, but a deep dive into his whole deal would be cool
full state was allocated to them after making them move from their homeland, half of the state is literally less than the bare minimum
i think this was probably the correct decision. we have to disconnect ourselves from the nature of the crimes committed as, thats not what the case was about.
I'll be on board when they go from briefs to boxers..... Lettem duke it out
Castro-Huerta v Oklahoma makes sense. It may depend on the tribe, but at least with some South Dakota reservations, if a non- native person is charged with a crime on a reservation, they would get sent to county for pre trial detention and all court hearings.
So castro-Huerta only dealt with non-indian defendants against Indian victims. Typically those would be federal offenses. However, castro-Huerta established that states now have co-jurisdiction (despite the MANY years of suffering case law). Tribal courts and federal courts do not have and have not had jurisdiction over Non-Indian defendants with non-Indian victims.
do you think it would be a good idea to make a series about important state supreme court decisions like Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health??
Unfortunately, it's a state supreme court decision, not a U.S. Supreme Court, so I doubt it. But thanks for letting me know about it, it was an interesting read!
Perhaps?
@@iammrbeat Yes, please
1:09 so he never denied responsibility for the murder…
All are equal it doesn't matter if it was a native on there land or a non native on there land they should get the same trial.
Why that sounds like the 14th Amendment
That would be great if all Americans received the same outcomes some get the “troubled adolescent-insane judgements” . Unfortunately some Americans receive a fairer trial compared to others.
Such a great video
Neil Gorsuch is by far the most interesting justice on the current court. Very sharp and with - at least - sometimes independent views.
He is also an outspoken advocate for native american rights, which is surprising for a Trump appointed justice.
Also a very good writer.
I wonder how the jurisdiction change is going to affect municipal operations for Tulsa.
Could I still move there if I wanted to for some strange reason?
Their is a follow up case Hooper v. Tulsa that is working it’s way through the courts now. It will hopefully further limit McGirt.
But yes you could still move here regardless of you’re tribal citizenship status.
@@jasonmurray5823 seeing that I’m about as white as it gets, that’s why I asked.

@@DiamondKingStudios there is lots of white people that pass as American Indians they are sometimes called "5% Indians"

00:23 I didn't realise New Zealand courts had jurisdiction in Oklahoma. The more you know!
Edit: 1:07 Wrong court indeed!
I was hoping if they were to be tried by the tribes themselves, in their "trials" would be their traditional equivalents of law and punishment, would they potentially get scalped instead of the injection?
Nah there's sentencing maximums pretty sure it's like 8 years for multiple crimes and 4 for a single incident. Felonies are different cause they get charged in federal court though.
This seems like it was intended to be a joke but the stereotypical reference to scalping was not appreciated. But also, there major crimes act(mca) guarantees that it would be a federal case. And actually the whole reason why the MCA was passed is because traditional practices of tribal justice to many tribes were less harsh than the Anglo-Saxon/American systems. See US v. Kagama (the US was unhappy that a man who committed murder wasnt being sentenced to death by the tribe). Most tribes focused more on restitution and compensation for victims than they did capital punishment.
I love this series! Can’t wait for the next one!!! Greetings from Chile 🤝

I'm happy you do!
Mr Beat, are you planning to remake some of your old videos, such as the top 10 best/worst American presidents?
Absolutely
Congress never revoked the treaties it signed with the Indian nations so therefore the state governments do not have jurisdiction over them. Simple as that.
It's funny watching all the maps gets updated now
I remember this case in real time back in '20, but I did not know that it was because a pedophile and murderer who emasculated his victim wanted a new trial even if the evidence was rock solid.
Writing as Brit, I find American legal stuff slightly crazy - but nevertheless very interesting and rather like a rolling series of "It's Your Move Now" episodes. However; in these two cases - it seems they were bang to rights guilty so only a mental exercise for the eagles - and I expect, quite lucrative.
I'd love to know the reason why the death row guy cut his victim's bits off - did he just have a thing about bloke's bits or did the victim do something unmentionable with them?
Probably so they couldn't be identified in case the police had a rape kit.
I know I already posted a comment but I thought of a way to simplify it so it would be easier to understand. The reason I say McGirt was a huge win is because OKC was always more like “the capitol” from the hunger games. If McGirt was from OKC and then he assaulted a child from Tulsa then the state would have let him get away with it regardless of tribal affiliation. Just because they blatantly exploit and murder everyone from tribal land as much as they can get away with it’s important that the precedent was set that OKC does not always get to be in control of people outside it’s own city limits.
This is another one JURYYY COME HERE
Genuine question, why is the term "Indian" still used? I still see it used in plenty of legal and geographical contexts, despite being taught that the term is incorrect all my live. Not attacking Mr. Beat or anyone, just curious why the language wasn't been changed in official connotations.
Maybe for Native Americans is not that big of a deal how people call them as much as how people treat them.
I think CGP grey did a video about this topic.
I use the term "American Indian," as this is a well established term that is used by many American Indians themselves.
@@iammrbeat gotcha thanks for the reply! I am admittedly asking from the outside looking in, as I'm Canadian, thus I don't know what American Indians called themselves.
The only reservation in Oklahoma is the Osage. The other nations have tribal jurisdictional areas which overlay with Oklahoma counties
The Supreme Court disagrees
Slightly misleading, much of Oklahoma is still treaty land at least for the purpose of criminal prosecutions, unclear to what extent this would apply in other domains, since the issue being examined was does the tribes exist for the sake of criminal prosecutions. The answer was yes the tribes exist as a legal entity and as a group of people, the relevant laws (treaty and Congressional statute), and the legal principles together apply in the criminal law context. But they didn't speak to the other issues that would potentially come up. And that was the dissents main argument, you are going to break everything. And Gorsuch was like, that's the still the result commanded by the treaty's in question. Those treaties are still valid law, and here in this case we are examining the validity of this provision. Whatever other provisions say, we'll get there when we get there.
(For example, if the tribe started choosing to legally evict everyone.... well, I don't know how that would work, because I don't know what the relevant treaty law says. Not only that but that might conflict with other laws passed in the meanwhile, so then we apply conflict of law principles. But if the tribes attempted to do that, well Gorsuch says, we'll address it when it happens. That isn't an excuse to ignore them now.)
Doesn't this decision whatever its 'right past wrongs' reasoning might be create a very confusing legal situation?By default pitting states against the tribes on matters of jurisdiction for a lot more than just murder cases. Nevermind another issue. Can the FBI handle the extra caseload?Yes its a big institution but most feds are located elsewhere. If you create a situation in which crimes are unsolved because there's not enough cops then you'll only lead to more trouble in the future. The natives will complain that nobody cares when they're victimised the states will complain about how they're no longer able to handle even easy cases and the FBI will complain about not having the personell needed to investigate.
Get up everyone! It's Supreme Court Briefs time!!!
Bro got sealed away like a mythical creature
You should do a video about Brown v Entertainment Merchants Association, about how violent video games are protected under free speech.
Im from Tulsa and am Native American, My sister was in Jail in Wagner co. for Drug Charges and when this passes all Natives were released from all county jails in Eastern OK. Most people here have Native American CDIB cards. You can tell by the license plates, ppl who have Native plates are not in the registry of the Federal Government so cannot be accessed by State or Municipal police. So they have no Idea who is in the car and will most likely face no charges that you cannot prosecute on a federal level. Most felonies get dropped and everybody knows this here.
