Jacqueline Keeler welcomes Alfred Urbina, the attorney general for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona. The Pascua Yaqui are the first federally recognized tribe with a high-tech enhanced tribal card (ETC), a certified ID card for border transit. They were also on of the first tribes to use the expanded jurisdiction granted to tribes under the 2013 Violence Against Women’s Act. The tribe prosecuted several non-Native men for domestic violence.
