- What are Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in the face of borders imposed on them by colonization?
- In what ways does the U.S. immigration system create challenges for Indigenous community members and migrants?
- Does it matter if legal advocates representing Indigenous migrants are Indigenous themselves?
- What can immigration service providers do to better serve their Indigenous migrant clients?
