Book to Action: McGirt v. Oklahoma Seminar (Riverside/Virtual)
3989 Lemon Street Riverside, CA 92501
Event Details
This event is part of the Library's participation in the 2026 Book to Action program.
Now that we've read the story behind McGirt v. Oklahoma, it's time to explore the case itself. Join us for a seminar hosted by library assistant, Yanis Ait Kaci Azzou, as we dive into one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions of the 21st century. Together, we'll examine how the Court reached its decision, what the ruling means for tribal sovereignty and federal Indian law, and why its impact continues to shape legal and political debates today. Along the way, we'll also discuss how Supreme Court opinions are written, interpreted, and remembered, giving you the tools to better understand how the Court makes history and how we can study that history for ourselves. This event is open to all who may be interested in these topics.
