All of the following about the 1978 Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez case are true except that:

Question

a. Julia Martinez sued her tribe for sex discrimination because the tribe had dictated that children born from female tribal members who married outside the tribe lost tribal status, whereas children born from male tribal members who married outside the tribe did not.
b. The Supreme Court decided that this was a case of sex-based discrimination and that membership was valid for any child born of a tribal member, male or female.
c. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not intervene in this situation because the determination of tribal membership was the sovereign right of the tribe.
d. Many tribes took this decision as a signal to institute gender-discriminatory practices under the name of sovereignty.

Answer 1

b. The Supreme Court decided that this was a case of sex-based discrimination and that membership was valid for any child born of a tribal member, male or female.
