Professor Walter Echo-hawk launches Worcester Sovereignty Project...addresses Osage Nation Congress
"A proposed University of Tulsa College of Law project is aiming to expand its Indian law program.
The Worcester Sovereignty Project, a program that seeks to provide opportunities for Native Americans to learn Indian law, was being proposed to the Second Osage Nation Congress Nov. 15 during its 11th Special Session.
“This is probably the most single important development in the field of Indian law education for our part of the country,” said Walter Echo-Hawk.
Echo-Hawk (Pawnee), a seasoned attorney who previously worked with the Native American Rights Fund and now works for Crowe and Dunlevy law firm in Tulsa, said this project comes at a crucial time when tribes are dealing with more tribal sovereignty issues and dealing with more U.S. Supreme Court rulings against cases focused on Native American issues."
