Among the provisions being challenged is one that gives a preference to Native Americans seeking to foster or adopt Native American children, which those challenging the law say discriminates on the basis of race.

Tribes have also warned that a ruling striking down provisions of the law on racial discrimination grounds would threaten centuries of law that treat Native American tribes as distinct entities. Both sides appealed to the Supreme Court after the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. The Supreme Court has been closely divided in two major recent cases on Native American issues.

The Soniat House hotel in New Orleans, one of the properties Ken Fulk and Clark Lyda have taken over with their company InHouse. In 1903 turpentine magnate Robert Paterson and his wife, Marie Louise Paterson, moved into a new mansion in the Berkshires filled with art and antiques, on 130 wooded acres on the edge of Lenox, Massachusetts. They named their stately pile Blantyre, after a village in Scotland, Robert’s native country. Following Robert’s 1917 death, the palatial spread changed hands many times, passing in and out of bankruptcy as it became a country club, before emerging in the 1980s as a genteel resort famous for its encyclopedic wine cellar and ambitious white-tablecloth cooking.
