Native American Rights Fund

The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is the oldest non-profit law firm dedicated to serving the legal advocacy needs of tribal nations and their communities. NARF assists in the assertion of tribal sovereignty and is considered the premier thought leader in the field of Federal Indian Law.

NARF will explore Indigenous Conservation Council of Chesapeake Bay member Tribes’ sovereign rights under a series of Crown treaties and arrangements whereby ICCCB and/or its member Tribes may hold conservation easements under Virginia state law.

This grant will provide up to 7 technical assistance interventions to Tribes working on co-stewardship and co-management projects.

This project will enable our organization to utilize existing legal skills to provide additional technical legal assistance to tribes wanting to pursue cooperative agreements for the management of natural resources. The funding will allow NARF and FNDI to increase capacity and serve more tribes.
