Marriage Equality Called For In Largest Native American Tribe
With the proximity of the mid-term election on the US the biggest native tribe in America has decided to shine light on the issue of same-sex marriage among their people. Around eleven tribes have bans on same-sex marriage even though in America it is legal. The Navajo nation maintains a law called ‘Dine marriage act’ which forbids homosexual marriage.

To discuss this and more, we spoke to Professor Kevin Boreham from ANU College of Law.
