UGA INAS presents Rebecca Nagle

Rebecca Nagle is an award-winning journalist and Cherokee Nation citizen. Her podcast This Land explores the deep history of Supreme Court cases related to tribal sovereignty in the US. Her writing on Native representation, federal Indian law, and tribal sovereignty has been featured in the Atlantic, the Washington Post, The Guardian, USA Today, Indian Country Today, and more. Rebecca Nagle is the recipient of the American Mosaic Journalism Prize, Women’s Media Center’s Exceptional Journalism Award, a Peabody Nominee, and numerous awards from the Native American Journalist Association. Indigenous communities deserve the same standard of journalism as the rest of the country, but rarely receive it from non-Native media outlets. Nagle‘s journalism seeks to correct this. From the census, to COVID, to the Supreme Court, Nagle focuses on deep and timely reporting that sheds light on issues of National importance. Nagle lives in Tahlequah, OK, where she also works on language revitalization. Rebecca will discuss her podcast, research, and current issues concerning SCOTUS and tribal sovereignty.
