The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) provides legal representation and technical assistance to Native American Tribes, organizations, and individuals nationwide - a constituency that often lacks access to the justice system. NARF focuses on applying existing laws and treaties to guarantee that national and state governments live up to their legal obligations. NARF's five priorities are preserving Tribal existence, protecting Tribal natural resources, promoting Native American human rights, holding governments accountable, and developing and educating on Indian law.
NARF's practice is concentrated in five key areas: the preservation of tribal existence; the protection of tribal natural resources; the promotion of Native American human rights; the accountability of governments to Native Americans; and the development of Indian law and educating the public about Indian rights, laws, and issues.
