- Summary
- The Native American Rights Fund, founded in 1970, is a national Indian law firm dedicated to the preservation of tribal sovereignty and resources. This film focuses on court cases throughout the U.S. in which NARF lawyers have utilized Federal Indian Law to argue the claims of native peoples. These include: reassertion of fishing rights for members of the Quinault Reservation in Washington, fighting to reverse the federal policy of "termination" which threatened the sovereignty of the Menominee tribe in Wisconsin, securing equitable educational opportunities for Navajo children in Utah and protecting the religious freedoms of Native American prisoners in Nebraska. Working with the Native American Natural Resource Federation, NARF lawyers re-established water rights for the Paiutes, fought to protect the oil-rich lands of the Crow people in Montana and represented the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy tribes of Maine in the return of territory guaranteed by a 1790 treaty.
