How do Indian tribes, First Nations, and other indigenous peoples regulate same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships, and adoption and foster parenting by same-sex couples and LGBT individuals? What role does evidence of tribal culture and tradition, if any, play in these decisions? Additionally, what are the processes by which tribes change their laws with respect to same-sex relationships? An interdisciplinary group of scholars will broadly explore the ways in which tribes, First Nations, and other indigenous peoples regulate sexuality and family structure.
