Confronting the Impacts of Structural Racism and Bias in the Justice System: the MMIW Crisis and the Racialized Policing of Indigenous People
Bibliographic record
Abstract
“Confronting the Impacts of Structural Racism and Bias in the Justice System: the MMIW Crisis and the Racialized Policing of Indigenous People,” a presentation by Bree Black Horse November 30, 2021 Black Horse examines key federal policies, legislation, and court decisions that have impacted Native American people over the past two centuries that exemplify racial bias and structural racism. Black Horse explains how these federal laws and policies have impacted Native people in the criminal justice system and the safety of Tribal communities. Her talk will illuminate how the jurisdictional maze governing the investigation and prosecution of Indian Country crimes significantly contributes to the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Washington State and the United States. Blackhorse will also address the long history of racial violence perpetrated against Indigenous people in the United States, as well as the racialized policing and unequal treatment Indigenous people continue to experience in Washington’s criminal justice system. Bree Black Horse is an enrolled member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and a litigation associate at the law firm of Kilpatrick, Townsend & Stockton in the Native American practice group. She advises Tribal governments on all aspects of federal, state and tribal law, including tribal sovereignty, economic development, treaty rights, and complex Indian country litigation. Bree is a 2013 graduate of Seattle University School of Law, where she was a Douglas R. Nash Native American Scholar, and a former law clerk to Chief U.S. District Court Judge Brian M. Morris in the District of Montana. She is also Chair-Elect of the WSBA Indian Law Section, and Chair of the ACLU-WA Legal Committee.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
