Mission
NARF's objectives are to protect the rights of and seek justice for tribes and Native peoples. In the words of Executive Director John Echohawk, "We ask for nothing more, and will accept nothing less than the U.S. Government keeping the promises it has made to Native Americans." NARF currently represents more than 60 tribes in 20 states on a wide range of critical matters, including land into trust, federal recognition, subsistence hunting & fishing, federal trust responsibilities, protection of sacred places, voting rights, sovereign immunity, Indian Child Welfare, water rights and environmental issues.
About
The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is the oldest and largest nonprofit national Indian rights organization in the country devoting all its efforts to defending and promoting the legal rights of Indian people on issues essential to their tribal sovereignty, their natural resources and their human rights.
NARF believes in empowering individuals and communities whose rights, economic self-sufficiency and political participation have been systematically eroded or undermined.
At its inception in 1970, NARF believed that the best hope for Indian survival and development rests with the maintenance of the tribe as an institution. The inherent sovereign powers of a tribe to hold land, to govern tribal members and to command the respect of other units of government are essential to an Indian nation concept. Throughout its history, NARF has held fast to this hope and through its work has insured that this concept has become a reality.
The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) continues to address its traditional priority areas in accordance with NARF's long-standing program priorities. NARFs priority areas are: 1) Preservation of Tribal Existence; 2) Protection of Tribal Natural Resources; 3) Accountability of Governments to Native Americans; 4) Development of Indian Law & Educating the Public about Indian Rights Issues; and 5) Promotion of Native American Human Rights.
Over the course of NARFs existence, a strong legal foundation has been built around NARF's major priority areas. NARF will continue to build on that progress on behalf of Native American people who would otherwise lack access to and representation in the justice system.
NARF currently has approximately fifty ongoing cases and/or projects representing tribes, organizations and individuals. The volume and importance of the cases on NARF's docket illustrates the continuing need and demand for NARF's services.
