This interview with Judge Claudette White focuses on restoration rather than just punishment. She uses the traditional tribal customs and practices of the people she serves to create new pathways in which tribal families dealing with historical trauma and intergenerational violence and addiction can come to healing and wholeness. In this interview, Judge White discusses the benefits of working in tribal courts that are traditionally courts of equity and she makes recommendations that all judges can include in their courtroom.
