Native American Rights Fund

Since 1970, the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) has provided specialized legal assistance to Indian tribes, organizations, and individuals nationwide who might otherwise have gone without adequate representation. NARF has successfully asserted and defended the most important rights of Indians and tribes in hundreds of major cases and has achieved significant results in such critical areas as tribal sovereignty, treaty rights, natural resource protection, and Indian education. NARF is a non-profit 501c(3) organization that focuses on guaranteeing that federal and state governments live up to their legal obligations. In 2020, NARF released a groundbreaking report on the obstacles to political participation experienced by Native voters. Learn more and get the report and latest actions at https://vote.narf.org/
