The Indian Child Welfare Act has become a controversial piece of legislation since the Supreme Court heard oral argument on the case of Haaland v.

The Black Belt region of the southern United States, which spans from Alabama to Mississippi, received its name because of its non-absorbent, dark, and clay-like soil. This soil, while ideal for growing cotton, is impenetrable and does not absorb water properly. Consequently, sewage and wastewater accumulate and create a hygienic nightmare for the... |
