The New Obama Administration

               and Indian Country


  NARF's reputation as a leading force in the
development of Indian law and its record in
achieving justice on behalf of Native American
people by providing excellent and highly ethical
legal representation to Indigenous peoples has
not gone unnoticed in national and international
forums. The newly elected Obama Administration
called on the Native American Rights Fund to
help them prepare to implement their policies
for our tribal nations. NARF Executive Director
John Echohawk, and former NARF attorneys
Bob Anderson and Keith Harper were called upon
by President Obama to serve on his Transition
Team. President Obama has already appointed
Jodi Archambault Gillette, a member of the
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and daughter of for-
mer NARF Board member Dave Archambault, as
one the three Deputy Associate Directors of the
Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. This is the
first time a Native has been appointed to this
position.
  In April, President Obama announced the
nomination of Larry EchoHawk (brother of NARF
Executive Director John Echohawk) as Assistant
Secretary for Indian Affairs and the full Senate
