Across Tribal, State, and Federal Jurisdictions, many Native American individuals face legal challenges without the resources necessary to secure effective counsel. Our organization was established to address this inequity and to stand as a trusted advocate for justice within and beyond Tribal communities.

Workshops for Understanding Legal Procedures and Protocols

Facilitated sessions that equip registered Tribal Members with knowledge for interacting with Law Enforcement along with understanding court procedures and protocols.

Free Legal Consultation

We offer Free Legal Consultation where we discuss your case and possible courses of action. Our legal consultation is fully confidential and we provide options for your legal needs. Consultations do not guarantee legal representation and an application is required to be entered into our Legal Aid program.

Legal Representation for Tribal Members

Once the application for our program has been accepted, an assessment will be completed by our team to determine the legal needs of our client. If it is determined that a client requires private counsel rather than a public defender, an independent attorney will be hired to represent them in a court of law.
