NARF believes in empowering individuals and communities whose rights, economic self-sufficiency and political participation have been systematically eroded or undermined. At its inception in 1970, NARF believed that the best hope for Indian survival and development rests with the maintenance of the tribe as an institution. The inherent sovereign powers of a tribe to hold land, to govern tribal members and to command the respect of other units of government are essential to an Indian nation concept. Throughout its history, NARF has held fast to this hope and through its work has insured that this concept has become a reality. NARF currently has approximately fifty ongoing cases and/or projects representing tribes, organizations and individuals. The volume and importance of the cases on NARF's docket illustrates the continuing need and demand for NARF's services. In an historic day for the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, in July 2015, after decades of research and participation in the federal acknowledgment regulatory process, the Assistant Secretary, Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior published a Final Determination acknowledging that the Tribe exists as an Indian tribe within the meaning of Federal law. In January 2016, the Pamunkey Indian Tribes Final Determination became effective. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe is the only tribe located in Virginia to have filed a fully documented recognition petition. Established no later than 1646, the Tribe's Reservation is located next to the Pamunkey River, and adjacent to King William County. The Reservation comprises approximately 1,200 acres and is the oldest inhabited Indian reservation in America. NARF has represented the Tribe in this effort since 1988. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the water supply for the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas is in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. The Kickapoo people are unable to safely drink, bathe or cook with tap water. There is not enough water on the reservation to provide basic municipal services to the community and the Tribe is not even able to provide local schools with reliable, safe running water. The fire department cannot provide adequate fire protection due to the water shortage. In September 2016, the Tribe and the State executed the "Global Settlement Agreement" which includes a negotiated water right for the Tribe, including sufficient water for losses from storage due to seepage and evaporation, and all of the details for the States administration of the Tribes water right as the senior water right in the Delaware River watershed. The subsistence way of life is essential for the physical and cultural survival of Alaska Natives. As important as Native hunting and fishing rights are to Alaska Natives' physical, economic, traditional and cultural existence, the State of Alaska has been and continues to be reluctant to recognize the importance of the subsistence way of life. The Bering Sea Elders Group (BSEG) is an alliance of thirty-nine Yupik and Inupiaq villages that seeks to protect the sensitive ecosystem of the Bering Sea, the subsistence lifestyle, and the sustainable communities that depend on it. NARF has designed a comprehensive plan to help this group of Alaska Native villages in their efforts to protect the area and become more engaged in its management. Subsistence is the inherently sustainable Native philosophy of taking only what you need. There are often no roads and no stores in rural Alaska, and so no other group of people in the United States continues to be as intimately connected to the land and water and as dependent upon its vast natural resources as Alaskas indigenous peoples. NARF worked with BSEG on their efforts to protect the northern Bering Sea. In December 2016, this work resulted in President Barack Obama signing a historic Executive Order creating the Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area. This was an incredible victory for NARFs clients. Yupik and Inupiaq tribal communities in the region have a deeply personal and cultural connection to the Northern Bering Sea and its rich marine resources. Their lives have been linked with the Northern Bering Sea for thousands of years. It is their highway, their grocery store, their way of life, and their childrens inheritance. Climate change is one of the most challenging issues facing the world today. Its effects on indigenous peoples throughout the world are acute and will only get worse. The effects are especially pronounced in Alaska where as many as 184 Alaska Native villages are threatened with removal. In December 2015, the Paris Agreement, the first ever universally binding accord on climate change, was adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and achieves the universality which was missing from the last attempt at such an agreement the Kyoto Protocol. The International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC or indigenous caucus), which NARF has participated in, has been involved in the UNFCCC process for years. It is clear that without the presence of Indigenous Peoples representatives, the Agreement and Decision would have had no reference to them. While the indigenous caucus did not achieve all that it sought, it did achieve some very significant references which can be built on going forward. The language in the Agreement states that when taking action on climate change, the rights of indigenous peoples must be acknowledged and that traditional knowledge, knowledge of indigenous peoples and local knowledge systems shall help guide the science used to address climate change. This language recognizes the need to strengthen knowledge, technologies, practices and efforts of local communities and indigenous peoples, related to addressing and responding to climate change, and establishes a platform for the exchange of experiences and sharing of best practices on mitigation and adaptation in a holistic and integrated manner. In NARFs Sacred Places Project, NARF has partnered with the National Congress of American Indians and the Morningstar Institute to help ensure that various federal agencies with jurisdiction over federal lands are held accountable to their obligation to protect sacred places and provide meaningful access to tribal people wishing to use those places for traditional purposes. These efforts will include providing best practices analysis, as well as raising awareness of issues and different approaches that can be used to protect sacred places held by the federal government. To the extent possible, analysis and practices learned from federal lands will also be compared for use on private and state-held lands. NARF provided input to the federal Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, Defense, and Energy, which signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Regarding Interagency Coordination and Collaboration for the Protection of Indian Sacred Sites to improve the protection of, and tribal access to, Indian sacred sites through enhanced and improved interdepartmental coordination and collobration. The MOU was followed with an "Action Plan" calling for establishment of working groups to perform various listed activities to facilitate better coordination and access. After over 20 years of work, NARF and the Tribal Educations Departments National Assembly (TEDNA) secured the first source of direct federal funding $2 million for tribal education departments ("TEDs") in the Labor, Health, and Human Services Fiscal Year 2012 and 2015 Appropriations Bills. The STEP program authorizes eligible TEDs to participate in a pilot project that allows TEDs to operate federal education programs in schools located on Indian reservations. The first STEP grants were awarded to the Nez Perce Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation, the Navajo Nation, and the Chickasaw Nation. The second round of grant awardees included the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, the Nez Perce Tribe, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, and the Chickasaw Nation and Cheyenne and Arapaho Consortium. In Fiscal Year 2015, the U.S. Department of the- Interior's Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) announced its new direct funding for TEDs, the Sovereignty in Education (SIE) Program. Six tribes were awarded grants under this pilot program. For Fiscal Year 2016, Congress appropriated an additional $2 million for TEDs to be distributed by BIE via a competitive grant under its 1988 statutory authorization which has never before been funded. The following TEDs were provided BIE TED funds: Cohort 1: Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Oglala Sioux Tribe, Pueblo of Acoma, Rosebud Sio 362854 189 The National Indian Law Library (NILL) is the only law library in the United States devoted to Indian law. The library serves both NARF and members of the public. Since it was started as a NARF project in 1972, NILL has collected nearly 9,000 resource materials that relate to federal Indian and tribal law. The Librarys holdings include the largest collection of tribal codes, ordinances and constitutions; legal pleadings from major Indian cases; and often hard to find reports and historical legal information. In addition to making its catalog and extensive collection available to the public, NILL provides free weekly Indian law updates via email and reference and research assistance. The professional library staff answers over 2,000 questions from the public each year. In addition, the Library has created and maintains a huge web site that provides access to thousands of full-text sources to help the researcher. The Access to Tribal Law Project continues to be an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners in tribal law. In 2016 fiscal year, we received updates to 92 Constitutions or Codes from 43 tribes. We have established good relationships with a number of tribes who regularly send us updates to their laws as changes are made and we are working to develop relationships with others who have expressed interest. The Tribal Nation Pronunciation Guide is being developed for the NILL website. Appropriate pronunciations for all federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native Villages have been published for over 250 tribes in 2016 on the Tribal Law Gateway. We believe this unique guide will be a valuable resource for those who need to communicate with tribes and will allow people to address a tribe in a respectful manner. 8112634 true true false true false false false true true true true false false false true false true false false false false false false true true false false true false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true 60 0 true 46 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI X X NATIVE AMERICAN RIGHTS FUND 3034478760 1506 BROADWAY BOULDER CO 80302 Moses K N Haia III Chairman 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Tex G Hall Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Virginia Cross Board Member - Through 11/2015 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kurt Bluedog Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard J Peterson Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Smith Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Julie Roberts-Hyslop Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gary Hayes Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen R Lewis Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peter M Pino Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Larry Olinger Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Robert McGhee Vice - Chairman 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Anita Mitchell Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jefferson Keel Board Member 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Macarro Vice-Chairman-Through 11/2015 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Echohawk Executive Director 40.0 0.0 X 215800 0 45933 Michael Kennedy Chief Financial Officer 40.0 0.0 X 124337 0 25932 Ray Ramirez Corporate Secretary 40.0 0.0 X 92336 0 21069 Morgan O'Brien Development Director 40.0 0.0 X 121974 0 36176 Melody McCoy Litigation Mgmt Committee 40.0 0.0 X 176870 0 43582 Kim Gottschalk Litigation Mgmt Committee 40.0 0.0 X 184853 0 44188 Natalie Landreth Litigation Mgmt Committee 40.0 0.0 X 147204 0 19881 Don Wharton Attorney 40.0 0.0 X 184297 0 29469 Steven Moore Attorney 40.0 0.0 X 180539 0 42667 Heather Kendall Attorney 40.0 0.0 X 176485 0 33865 Richard Guest Attorney 40.0 0.0 X 175940 0 38499 Susan Noe Attorney 40.0 0.0 X 181811 0 22351 1962446 0 403612 21 false true false 0 X 36239 143588 4464441 5001923 243599 9646191 LEGAL FEES 900099 2028322 2028322 2028322 389743 389743 0 82 82 0 0 0 2142060 2130548 11512 11512 11512 6675 143588 85309 -78634 -78634 0 0 REIMBURSEMENTS 900099 8275 8275 HONORARIUMS 900099 5600 5600 NARF PUBLICATION 900099 189 189 44087 44087 58151 12055367 2086473 322703 X 955463 955463 0 0 0 1310657 833701 280117 196839 0 3324947 2823891 229450 271606 181485 146122 20157 15206 487863 393133 24492 70238 289697 206022 36244 47431 0 0 26775 26775 88842 88842 140178 140178 70783 70783 1525284 1480284 45000 16270 16270 569837 214686 55586 299565 115673 48254 13930 53489 0 300825 269522 20095 11208 583031 435963 69738 77330 0 30852 16420 479 13953 3654 3654 0 63205 47513 5083 10609 28388 22315 2523 3550 DIRECT MARKETING MAIL 432056 432056 LIBRARY 58048 48988 1951 7109 COSTS RELATED TO LEGAL CASES 16861 16861 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 64654 64654 10685328 8112634 861057 1711637 X 676276 745778 4449027 1245625 1188771 3862952 399083 389931 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 133414 192059 1363965 1101280 264126 262685 12843324 15862551 0 0 0 0 77500 107500 24500 32759 20056021 22701840 1042828 924678 0 0 21493 22202 0 0 0 190971 0 0 63680 43395 0 0 288114 307342 1416115 1488588 X 15577129 16137509 2077273 4065281 985504 1010462 18639906 21213252 20056021 22701840 1370039 1203307 X false true X true true true X 16104389 10173190 4784849 6546704 9646191 47255323 0 0 16104389 10173190 4784849 6546704 9646191 47255323 2294191 44961132 66899 119853 229914 174489 389825 980980 0 0 48236303 13064570 0.93210 0.94399 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 94800 94800 10590528 10685328 684266 171067 618622 654935 650651 684266 2608474 3912711 46681 16396 24416 94800 182293 154656 163734 162663 171067 652120 978180 4951 0 4951 X X ASSIST IN RESEARCH - CLIENT CASES true false true X 985504 24958 1010462 982416 3008 985424 970122 12294 982416 947722 22400 970122 942428 5294 947722 0.00000 1.00000 0.00000 false false 58937 58937 80000 80000 0 875657 712302 163355 349371 308978 40393 262685 0 RETIREMENT OBLIGATION 307342 307342 13343983 1203307 85309 1288616 12055367 12055367 10770637 85309 85309 10685328 10685328 SCHEDULE D, PART III, LINE 1A IF ELECTED UNDER SFAS 116 PROVIDE FOOTNOTE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COLLECTIONS OF WORKS OF ART, HISTORICAL TREASURES, AND SIMILAR ASSETS ARE NOT CAPITALIZED IN AS MUCH AS THE ITEMS ARE PRESERVED AND CARED FOR CONTINUOUSLY.
