Policy Updates

Sovereignty Protection Initiative
Since time immemorial Indians and Indian tribes have historically enjoyed the protection of the federal courts including the United States Supreme Court from those who have attacked tribal sovereignty. Without this judicial protection, not only would tribal sovereignty be severely diminished but perhaps even done away with.
Supreme Court Decisions - Coming Soon!
Review tribal related supreme court decisions.
Violence Against Women's Act
In 1990, Federal legislation was introduced to respond to Violence Against Women. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed into law in 1994 as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. This act included two pieces of legislation, one to create new penalties for gender-related violence and the second, to create grant programs encouraging states to address domestic violence and sexual assault.
