Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2016, $600,000)
The Native American Rights (NARF) will use their award funds to provide legal assistance to Indian tribes to enhance tribal justice systems and improve access to justice in those systems through the representation of individuals in tribal courts.
NARF is the primary applicant and intends to subcontract funding to the National Association of Indian Legal Services (NAILS), who will provide direct services to Indian tribes and individuals. NAILS is a consortium of 24 non-profit Indian Legal Services programs that have a 45 year history of providing legal assistance to individual Indians and Indian tribes who meet the federal poverty guidelines. The attached map shows the NAILS geographic reach, and the accompanying chart shows how many tribes are in each of those service areas.
