     NARF observes 35 years of
          Fighting For Justice



Nobody has given Indian people anything over the past thirty-five years, not
anything. Not the federal government or state governments, no one. Indian
people insisted on and fought for every acre, salmon, Sun Dance, and sovereign
right and achieved them out of their own wisdom, persistence, and courage -
not anyone elses. (Charles Wilkinson)


  Beginning its thirty-fifth    N. R obse es
year  of advocacy, the
Native American Rights
Fund presence in Indian
country has been evident.
The need in Indian country    Gve    nt
for creative legal assistance     ilaor
to enable Indian tribes,         een N
as sovereign governments,
to regain control over
their resources and their
destiny will continue. As
tribes struggle to protect       ian L
human health and envi-
ronmental integrity for
Indian people and on Indian lands; as tribes
strive to exercise more control over their most
precious resource, their children, through
improvement of Indian education and tribal
societies; as tribes continue their quest to
provide infrastructures and more responsive
governments; and, as tribes continue their
unwavering fight to insure their rights to
practice their religious beliefs and protect
their cultures for generations to come - the


                 Native American Rights
aFund will continue to be at
        atheir side.

                    Through the lessons of
        pa       these modern Indian wars,
sNARF has learned to listen
shard and long to its clients,
erce    ae       to present all the options to
           12    them, and to help them
.make their decisions based
Aon the best information
          page 13 possible. Looking back over
ae               the past 35 years, NARF
                 has represented over 200
                 tribes in 31 states in such
areas as tribal restoration and recognition,
jurisdiction, land claims, water rights, hunting
and fishing rights, the protection of Indian
religious freedom, and many others. In addition
to the great strides that we have made
in achieving justice on behalf of Native American
people, perhaps NARF's greatest distinguishing
attribute has been  its ability to bring
excellent, highly ethical legal representation
to tribes.
