On tonight's show we are back at the Community Center for the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi in Dowagiac, Michigan.  We'll start the show talking with Michael Petoskey, Tribal Court Chief Judge and Captain Chris Vancompernolle from the Tribal Police.  What’s different about the police and courts for the tribe, and how do they look at relationships within and outside of the tribe when criminal events happen.
