This week on Blak Law: Tribal Edition (BLTE) – First Nations governance is stepping into the future, but it is also facing new threats from imported conspiracy theories.

Gaan-Yarra, Yirrilam, Bumi, and Murrumu sit down to discuss the cutting edge of digital Indigenous governance. The team reviews the new-look yidindji.org website and explores how First Nations are using technology to assert statehood and self-determination in the modern era.But as true Indigenous sovereignty builds momentum, another movement is causing confusion. The crew takes a hard look at the rise of the "sovereign citizens" movement across Australia. Originating overseas, this pseudo-legal conspiracy theory is increasingly targeting black communities.Coming to you via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service, right here on BBM 98.7FM!
