NARF BELIEVES IN EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WHOSE RIGHTS, ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY, AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION HAVE BEEN SYSTEMICALLY ERODED OR UNDERMINED. NARF CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY FIFTY ONGOING CASES AND/OR PROJECTS REPRESENTING TRIBES, INDIAN ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS. THE VOLUME AND IMPORTANCE OF THE CASES ON NARF'S DOCKET ILLUSTRATE THE CONTINUING NEED AND DEMAND FOR NARF'S SERVICES. NARF'S BOARDING SCHOOL HEALING PROJECT - IT IS TIME TO HEAL OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR NATIONS. TRIBAL NATIONS AND THE UNITED STATES BOTH STAND TO BENEFIT IMMENSELY BY STEPPING TOWARDS RECOVERY AND RIGHTING THE RELATIONSHIP THAT CONTINUES TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF WIDE SCALE DENIAL AND IGNORANCE OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY. LIKE A LOT OF THE DETAILS OF THE UNITED STATES HISTORICAL RELATIONS WITH THE INDIGENOUS INHABITANTS OF THIS LAND, THE STORY OF THE INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS LARGELY BEEN WRITTEN OUT OF THE HISTORY BOOKS. THROUGH THIS POLICY, NATIVE AMERICAN CHILDREN WERE FORCIBLY ABDUCTED FROM THEIR HOMES AND PUT INTO CHRISTIAN AND GOVERNMENT RUN BOARDING SCHOOLS BEGINNING IN THE MID 1800'S, CONTINUING INTO THE 1950'S, AND IN SOME CASES UNTIL THE 1970'S. THE BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY REPRESENTED A SHIFT FROM GENOCIDE OF INDIAN PEOPLE TO A MORE DEFENSIBLE, BUT NO LESS INSIDIOUS, POLICY OF CULTURAL GENOCIDE - THE SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE REMOVAL AND REPROGRAMMING OF THEIR CHILDREN. CHILDREN WERE HELD IN ISOLATION IN REGIMENTED AND STERILE SETTINGS. SEPARATED FROM THEIR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES, THEY WERE PLACED IN DORMITORY SETTINGS FASHIONED AFTER THE MILITARY MODEL WHERE THEY WERE CONTROLLED, TRAINED, NEGLECTED AND ABUSED. THEY WERE PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGES, BANNED FROM ACTING IN ANY WAY REPRESENTATIVE OF TRADITIONAL OR CULTURAL PRACTICES, STRIPPED OF TRADITIONAL CLOTHING, HAIR AND ALL THINGS AND BEHAVIORS REFLECTIVE OF THEIR CULTURES. THEY WERE INTENTIONALLY AND SYSTEMATICALLY INCULCATED WITH SHAME FOR BEING INDIAN THROUGH RIDICULE OF THEIR RELIGIONS AND THEIR LIFE-WAYS; SHAME THAT BECAME INTERNALIZED AS SELF-LOATHING AND EMOTIONAL DISENFRANCHISEMENT FOR THEIR OWN CULTURES. THOSE VICTIMIZED IN THE SCHOOLS, THEIR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, HAVE BECOME THE LEGACY OF THE BOARDING SCHOOLS AND THE FEDERAL POLICY THAT ESTABLISHED AND SUSTAINED THEM. MANY OF THOSE THAT RETURNED TO THEIR COMMUNITIES CAME AS WOUNDED HUMAN BEINGS. DENIED THE SECURITY AND SAFETY NECESSARY FOR HEALTHY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, THEY RETAINED ONLY FRACTURED CULTURAL SKILLS TO CONNECT THEM WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THESE SURVIVORS WERE LEFT WITH VARYING DEGREES OF SCARS AND SKILLS, BUT MOST PROFOUNDLY, OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUBORDINATION. MANY REPORT FEELING SELF-HATRED FOR BEING INDIAN; BEREFT OF SPIRIT, KNOWLEDGE, LANGUAGE AND SOCIAL TOOLS TO REENTER THEIR OWN SOCIETIES. WITH ONLY LIMITED LABOR SKILLS, EXACERBATED BY THE SUBORDINATED SPIRIT TRAINED INTO THEM, TOO MANY CARRIED UNDEFINED AND UNREMITTING ANXIETIES THAT DROVE THEM TO ALCOHOLISM, DRUG ABUSE, VIOLENCE AGAINST THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, AND SUICIDE. TO ADDRESS THIS LONG-STANDING ISSUE, NARF WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE FORMATION OF THE NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN BOARDING SCHOOL HEALING COALITION (N-HABS-HC OR COALITION) TO FORMULATE A SPECIFIC STRATEGY AND FRAMEWORK TO PURSUE HEALING. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE COALITION IS HEALING. THE FULL EXTENT AND DEPTH OF THE IMPACTS OF THE BOARDING SCHOOLS TO OUR NATIONS, COMMUNITIES, AND FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUAL VICTIMS MUST FIRST BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD. THE COALITION WILL ASK THE CONGRESS TO CREATE A COMMISSION ON BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY WITH THE FULL AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF IMPACTED NATIVE AMERICANS AT ALL STAGES TO CARRY OUT A RANGE OF ESSENTIAL TASKS. THE TASKS OF THE COMMISSION CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BOARDING SCHOOLS, WHO WAS INVOLVED, WHAT IMPACTS ARE ONGOING, WHAT HEALING MODELS ARE AVAILABLE AND WORKING, AND WHAT SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENTS CAN SUPPORT HEALING MODELS. IN ORDER TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE ISSUES, AND TO GARNER SUPPORT FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION, PROJECT STAFF HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING OUTREACH AMONG (MOSTLY) REGIONAL TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS. NARF AND COALITION REPRESENTATIVES OFFER A PRESENTATION ON THE GOALS OF THE COALITION AND REQUEST A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE PLAN. TO DATE, RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT HAVE BEEN PASSED BY NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS, NATIONAL INDIAN HEALTH BOARD, AFFILIATED TRIBES OF NORTHWEST INDIANS, INTERTRIBAL COUNCIL OF NEVADA, MONTANA/WYOMING TRIBAL LEADERS ASSOCIATION AND THE GREAT LAKES INTER-TRIBAL COUNCIL. WE HAVE PROVIDED DRAFT RESOLUTIONS AND HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH STAFF OR LEADERS FROM A NUMBER OF OTHER REGIONAL TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND ARE CONTINUING TO CONTACT OTHERS. CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS AND THEIR STAFF ALSO NEED TO BE EDUCATED ABOUT THE BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY AND ITS CONTINUED IMPACTS. NARF HAS INITIATED CONTACT WITH INTERESTED CONGRESSIONAL STAFF, AND PLANS TO DISTRIBUTE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. THE PROJECT WILL INITIATE ONE OR MORE CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING SESSIONS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO RELEVANT STAFFERS. THEN WE CAN REQUEST ONE OR MORE OVERSIGHT HEARINGS TO MAKE THE CASE FOR ACTION NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE CONTINUING HARMS OF THE BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION DIRECTLY TO CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS. THE PROJECT ALSO HELD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE, AND SOUGHT THE BENEFIT OF GUIDANCE ABOUT THE PROSPECTS FOR EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE ATTENTION DURING THE REMAINDER OF THIS PRESIDENTIAL TERM. BASED ON THOSE DISCUSSIONS, HIGH LEVEL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS, PARTICULARLY IN THE DEPARTMENTS OF INTERIOR, EDUCATION, AND JUSTICE WILL BE RECRUITED TO SUPPORT AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES. IT WILL ALSO BE ESSENTIAL TO GENERATE THE SUPPORT OF THE CHURCHES THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE INITIATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY. BECAUSE OF THEIR INSTITUTIONAL HISTORIES, THE CHURCHES INVOLVED IN THE BOARDING SCHOOL POLICY MIGHT BE ANTICIPATED TO PROVIDE RESISTANCE TO BRINGING THE HARMFUL ASPECTS OF THOSE HISTORIES TO LIGHT. HOWEVER, AS MORAL LEADERS AND INSTITUTIONS THAT SERVE AS GUIDEPOSTS FOR RIGHT ACTION, THE CHURCHES ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE IN LEADERSHIP ROLES IN PROVIDING EXAMPLES OF HOW TO RIGHT A PAST WRONG. NARF STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL QUAKER GROUPS IN A NUMBER OF EFFORTS TO MOVE THE ISSUE WITHIN THAT PARTICULAR CHURCH. THE COALITION ALSO MET WITH THE COUNCIL OF NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES IN MID-OCTOBER TO DISCUSS WAYS TO APPROACH THE VARIOUS NATIONAL DENOMINATIONS. ALASKA VOTING RIGHTS - IN THE CASE OF TOYUKUK V. TREADWELL, NARF AND NATIONAL LAW FIRM WILSON ELSER, ACTING ON BEHALF OF TWO TRIBAL COUNCILS AND TWO ALASKA NATIVE VOTERS, FILED SUIT IN FEDERAL COURT CHARGING STATE ELECTIONS OFFICIALS WITH ONGOING VIOLATIONS OF THE FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. THE SUIT CLAIMS STATE OFFICIALS HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE ORAL LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE TO CITIZENS WHOSE FIRST LANGUAGE IS YUP'IK, THE PRIMARY LANGUAGE OF MANY ALASKA NATIVES IN THE DILLINGHAM AND WADE HAMPTON REGIONS. IN THE COMPLAINT, MR. TOYUKUK OF MANAKOTAK, MR. AUGUSTINE OF ALAKANUK, THE NATIVE VILLAGE OF HOOPER BAY, AND THE TRADITIONAL VILLAGE OF TOGIAK ASKED THE COURT TO ORDER STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS TO COMPLY WITH THE LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PROVISIONS OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND THE VOTING GUARANTEES OF THE FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. THE RELIEF THEY REQUESTED INCLUDES IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES IN THE DILLINGHAM AND WADE HAMPTON AREAS SIMILAR TO THOSE SECURED BY NARF AND ALASKA NATIVES IN THE BETHEL AREA IN THE NICK, ET AL. V. BETHEL, ET AL. LITIGATION, REQUIRING STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS TO OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM THE FEDERAL COURT OR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES FOR ANY CHANGES IN THOSE PROCEDURES, AND TO APPOINT FEDERAL OBSERVERS TO OVERSEE FUTURE ELECTIONS IN THE TWO REGIONS. "LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE" REQUIRES TRANSLATING BALLOTS AND OTHER ELECTION MATERIALS AND INFORMATION INTO YUP'IK AND PROVIDING TRAINED BILINGUAL STAFF TO REGISTER VOTERS AND TO HELP VOTERS AT THE POLLS THROUGH COMPLETE, ACCURATE, AND UNIFORM TRANSLATIONS. SEVEN REGIONS OF ALASKA, INCLUDING THE DILLINGHAM AND WADE HAMPTON REGIONS, ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE FOR ALASKA NATIVES UNDER SECTION 203, THE LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PROVISION OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT. SECTION 203 APPLIES TO STATES AND LOCALITIES THAT MEET CERTAIN THRESHHOLD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NUMBERS OF CITIZENS 306352 0 2529 NATIONAL INDIAN LAW LIBRARY (NILL): NILL HELPS FULFILL NARF'S FIFTH PRIORITY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN LAW AND EDUCATING THE PUBLIC BY: PROVIDING, FREE TO THE PUBLIC, UPDATES ON INDIAN LAW, RESEARCH ASSISTANCE AND DOCUMENT DELIVERY, AND UNIQUE AND VALUABLE RESOURCES ON ITS WEB SITE. IN ADDITION, NILL PROVIDES RESEARCH AND INFORMATION SUPPORT TO NARF SO THAT IT CAN CARRY OUT ITS OTHER FOUR PRIORITIES AND OPERATE IN A COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER. WITH MORE THAN 400 PARTICIPATING TRIBES, NARF'S NATIONAL INDIAN LAW LIBRARY (NILL) COMPREHENSIVE TRIBAL LAW INDEX COLLECTION OF TRIBAL LAWS CONTINUES TO GROW. WEB USE STATISTICS SHOW THAT THE ONLINE TRIBAL LAW COLLECTION IS SEEING MORE VISITORS, WITH ABOUT 8,000 PAGE VISITS PER MONTH. TO ACCOMMODATE THIS GROWTH AND INCREASE USABILITY, NILL HAS DEVELOPED AN IMPROVED ARCHITECTURE FOR THE ONLINE TRIBAL LAW COLLECTION. THE NEW TRIBAL LAW GATEWAY WAS RELEASED IN AUGUST, 2012 AND AS OF DECEMBER 26, 2013 MORE THAN 300 INDIVIDUAL TRIBE'S PAGES HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED. WE PLAN TO ROLL OUT ALL OF THE REMAINING TRIBAL PAGES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. EACH TRIBE WILL HAVE A WEB PAGE OUTLINING EXACTLY WHAT TRIBAL LAW MATERIALS - FROM CODES AND CONSTITUTIONS TO TRIBAL COURT OPINIONS - ARE AVAILABLE AND WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND. NILL IS ALSO ORGANIZING SEVERAL FREE WEBINARS ON INDIAN LAW RESEARCH. THE PURPOSE OF THESE WEBINARS IS TO PROVIDE PRACTICAL GUIDANCE ON HOW TO RESEARCH TRIBAL LAW - A DIFFICULT AND MISUNDERSTOOD AREA OF LAW. THE LIBRARY PLANS TO PROVIDE AT LEAST 3 FREE SESSIONS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE OREGON BAR, AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF LAW LIBRARIES AND TRIBAL MEMBERS/GOVERNMENTS. THE PURPOSE OF THESE SESSIONS IS TO HELP THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND HOW TO UTILIZE THE FREE NILL RESEARCH TOOLS AND SERVICES AS WELL AS UNDERSTAND WHICH FEE-BASED SERVICES ALSO PROVIDE QUALITY CONTENT. TRIBAL LAW IS A GROWING AREA OF LAW AS TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS EXERCISE THEIR INHERENT JURISDICTION AND DEVELOP THEIR LAW IN A WAY THAT MEETS AND HONORS THEIR TRADITIONAL AND CUSTOMARY WAYS OF LIFE. 7210535 true true false true false false false true false true true true false false true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 40 0 true 41 true false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AZ AR CA CT DE FL GA HI IL 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 GERALD DANFORTH 1.0 X NATASHA V SINGH 1.0 X MARSHALL MCKAY 1.0 X VIRGINIA CROSS 1.0 X BARBARA SMITH 1.0 X MARK MACARRO 1.0 X BUFORD L ROLIN 1.0 X RON HIS HORSE IS THUNDER 1.0 X MOSES K N HAIA III 1.0 X JULIE ROBERTS-HYSLOP 1.0 X GARY HAYES 1.0 X STEPHEN R LEWIS 1.0 X PETER M PINO 1.0 X TEX G HALL 1.0 X JOHN ECHOHAWK 40.0 X 198774 0 40327 MICHAEL KENNEDY 40.0 X 121021 25468 RAY RAMIREZ 40.0 X 86939 17712 MORGAN O'BRIEN 40.0 X 105039 40142 MELODY MCCOY 40.0 X 176213 68846 KIM GOTTSCHALK 40.0 X 169733 43419 NATALIE LANDRETH 40.0 X 141955 24761 DON WHARTON 40.0 X 166774 28612 STEVEN MOORE 40.0 X 166788 40608 HEATHER KENDALL 40.0 X 176113 46932 RICHARD GUEST 40.0 X 159027 23432 DAVID GOVER 40.0 X 122069 39649 1790445 0 439908 14 false true false 0 X 42620 6190503 3940067 10173190 LEGAL FEES 900099 1277395 1277395 1277395 108886 108886 0 5854 5854 5113 5113 0 5113 5113 1727074 1499728 227346 227346 227346 0 0 0 REIMBURSEMENTS 900099 4264 4264 HONORARIUMS 900099 111 111 NARF PUBLICATION 900099 2529 2529 3383 3383 10287 11808071 1287682 347199 1708673 1708673 0 0 0 1273927 817629 271347 184951 0 2897670 2408587 280210 208873 124898 85843 33470 5585 474064 383747 20450 69867 258466 188981 33017 36468 0 0 28150 28150 13269 13269 24000 24000 27074 27074 569690 569690 15274 15274 530832 256428 48843 225561 124939 64815 14206 45918 0 273384 242639 21361 9384 477869 335508 83322 59039 0 34551 25006 307 9238 4772 4772 0 43455 33432 4042 5981 17191 15639 1086 466 DIRECT MARKET MAILINGS 388597 388597 LIBRARY 39670 38616 164 890 COSTS RELATED TO LEGAL CASES 22033 22033 9372448 7210535 871821 1290092 X 812047 348617 5404508 5615830 4927327 4304527 578025 573605 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85398 125717 1189135 970530 170515 218605 2653275 4590738 2393105 4724101 0 0 0 0 8129 5458 17032329 20507198 780386 1082335 0 0 849 7532 0 0 0 0 0 0 34068 47832 0 0 235554 281757 1050857 1419456 X 11441757 13711924 3591993 4405696 947722 970122 15981472 19087742 17032329 20507198 2435623 670647 X false true X true true true X 2471678 4883293 4958526 16104389 10173190 38591076 0 0 2471678 4883293 4958526 16104389 10173190 38591076 1692771 36898305 163021 99457 71125 66899 119853 520355 0 0 39111431 8445984 0.94342 0.92830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4951 41730 46681 9325767 9372448 618622 154656 507481 452555 526667 618622 2105325 3157988 101903 52100 47600 46681 248284 126870 113139 131667 154656 526332 789498 11528 0 2984 4951 19463 X X ASSIST IN RESEARCH - CLIENT CASES false 4359715 3430514 2594411 5195818 1768590 3627190 856065 4539715 2404013 649850 1285273 1768590 985392 1706805 288184 2404013 5007620 278721 4300949 985392 0.00000 0.18050 0.81950 false false 58937 58937 80000 80000 0 720554 605572 114982 329644 284958 44686 218605 HEDGE FUND 3524101 F PREFERRED STOCK 200000 F LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1000000 F 4724101 0 RETIREMENT OBLIGATION 281757 281757 12478718 670647 670647 11808071 11808071 9372448 9372448 9372448 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.
