Today, as we celebrate the spirit of generosity, we are launching a month-long campaign to highlight our work to protect what sustains us as Native people: things like water, land, and Indigenous lifeways. At the Native American Rights Fund (NARF), our mission is rooted in defending Tribal sovereignty — and protecting the things that cannot be replaced.
NARF provides legal support to Tribal Nations and Native people in communities, courtrooms, and policy arenas across the nation. Our work includes:
- Water Rights: Advocating for Tribal access to clean, reliable water through negotiated settlements, litigation, and policy reform.
- Land Protection: Defending sacred places, protecting homelands, and asserting treaty rights and Tribal jurisdiction.
- Cultural and Religious Freedoms: Protecting the use of eagle feathers and rights of Native inmates.
These efforts are not just legal battles — they are fights for survival, sovereignty, and future generations. Your support helps us continue this work.
Donate today to partner with NARF and support justice for Indian Country.
“We support the Native American Rights Fund because preserving the ancestral gifts and Native cultures is critical to the future of Native people; we support NARF’s mission to preserve for current and future generations of all people.”
– Wayne Ross & Nancy Starling Ross, National Support Council Members/NARF Supporters
Thank you to all who choose to stand strong for Native rights and be a part of the change on this Giving Tuesday.
