Could there be an American Indian replacement for Stevens?
Justice John Paul Stevens’ retirement was announced on the second day of the Fed Bar's Indian Law Conference. During that same announcement, it was also announced that John Echohawk, director of the Native American Rights Fund, was on Obama’s short list of potential nominees. However, an article published by Indian Country Today casts doubt upon the nomination. Thankfully, both NARF and the National Native American Bar Association are pushing for a Native candidate by making their case to the White House. Read the about the need and efforts in the entire article here.

I don't believe John is an attorney. However, Larry EchoHawk, John's brother, would be an excellent nominee. Former idaho Attorney General of Idaho, Democrat,law rof for 14 years at BYU law. Plus, larry has already been vetted by the obama admin. when he was selected Deputy Interior Sec. (BIA Head). Perfect choice even the ultra right woulld be happy with.
