Dear John,
As one of the newest members of our community, you have proven you understand the immense and ongoing challenges faced by Native peoples.
Long before the United States formed, American Indian and Alaska Native tribes were independent, self-governing peoples. The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is the oldest and largest nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting the freedoms of our remaining tribes — and today I hope you will become an active participant in this work.
