NARF BELIEVES IN EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WHOSE RIGHTS, ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY, AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION HAVE BEEN SYSTEMICALLY ERODED OR UNDERMINED. TRIBAL TRUST FUNDS NARF REPRESENTS FORTY-ONE TRIBES IN AN ACTION IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SEEKING FULL AND COMPLETE ACCOUNTINGS OF THEIR TRUST FUNDS. SUCH ACCOUNTINGS NEVER HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHICH IS THE TRUSTEE FOR THE FUNDS. IN 2009, THE TRIBES REPRESENTED BY NARF IN THIS CASE WERE AMONG THE OVER 90 TRIBES WHO WORKED TO RESOLVE EQUITABLY ALL INDIAN TRUST FUND MISMANAGEMENT LITIGATION AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY BEGINNING SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS IN THIS CASE AND OTHER TRIBAL TRUST FUND MISMANAGEMENT CASES. IN 2010 AND 2011, NARF ATTORNEYS, ALONG WITH ATTORNEYS FOR DOZENS OF OTHER TRIBES LITIGATING TRUST ACCOUNTING AND MISMANAGEMENT CLAIMS COORDINATED AND ATTENDED MANY MEETINGS HOSTED BY THE PRESIDENT'S APPOINTEES IN WASHINGTON, DC IN PREPARATION FOR SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS. IN DECEMBER 2011, ACTIVE CLAIMS SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS ON A TRIBE BY TRIBE BASIS BEGAN FOR MANY TRIBES. TO DATE, 28 OF NARF'S CLIENT TRIBES IN THIS CASE HAVE REACHED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE UNITED STATES TOTALING NEARLY $400 MILLION. THESE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT. PER THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS, ONCE THE TRIBES RECEIVE THEIR SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS THEIR CLAIMS ARE DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. NARF CONTINUES TO REPRESENT ITS REMAINING CLIENT TRIBES IN THIS CASE IN THEIR ON-GOING SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS. INDIAN EDUCATION IN OCTOBER 2011, THE U.S. SENATE COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE S.1262, THE NATIVE CULTURE, LANGUAGE & ACCESS FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOLS (CLASS) ACT, A NEW INDIAN EDUCATION BILL THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY INCREASE TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY OVER ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION. IN DECEMBER 2011, THE NATIVE CLASS ACT WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AS H.R. 3568. IN MARCH 2012, H.R. 3568 WAS REFERRED TO THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON HIGHER EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE. THE ACT INCLUDES SEVERAL PROVISIONS FOR WHICH NARF AND ITS CLIENT THE TRIBAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY (TEDNA), HAVE ADVOCATED, INCLUDING AN AUTHORIZATION FOR A TRIBAL EDUCATION AGENCY PILOT PROJECT, COOPERATIVE EDUCATION AGREEMENTS BETWEEN TRIBES AND STATES, INCREASED ROLES FOR TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, INCREASED FUNDING FOR TRIBAL EDUCATION AGENCIES AND OTHER INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, AFTER OVER 20 YEARS OF WORK, NARF AND TEDNA SECURED THE VERY FIRST DIRECT FEDERAL FUNDING - $2 MILLION - FOR TRIBAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS IN THE LABOR, HEALTH, AND HUMAN SERVICES FISCAL YEAR 2012 APPROPRIATIONS BILL. THE FUNDING WENT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO BE DISTRIBUTED VIA A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROCESS UNDER A NEW STATE TRIBAL EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS ("STEP") PROGRAM TO ELIGIBLE TRIBAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A PILOT PROJECT THAT ALLOWS TRIBAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS TO OPERATE FEDERAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS (PUBLIC AND BUREAU OF INDIAN EDUCATION) LOCATED ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS. THE NEZ PERCE TRIBE, THE NAVAJO NATION, THE CHICKASAW NATION AND THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE UMATILLA RESERVATION WILL BE THE FIRST GRANTEES TO RECEIVE FUNDING UNDER THE STEP PROGRAM. THE STEP PROGRAM WILL ALLOW THESE TRIBES TO MEANINGFULLY PARTICIPATE IN THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, LOCATED ON THEIR RESPECTIVE RESERVATIONS, THROUGH COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH STATE EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES. INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT NARF REPRESENTS A COALITION OF ALL TRIBES IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN WHO ARE SEEKING STATE LEGISLATION TO ENHANCE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY IN THEIR STATE. THE TRIBES THROUGH THEIR COURTS WORKED HARD AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL WITH STATE COURTS AND STATE AGENCIES TO DRAFT THE PROPOSED STATE LEGISLATION. THE MICHIGAN INDIAN FAMILY PRESERVATION ACT WAS PASSED BY THE STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE STATE SENATE, AND WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE GOVERNOR. ALASKA NATIVE ISSUES FOUR ALASKA NATIVES AND FOUR TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS REPRESENTED BY THE NATIVE AMERICAN RIGHTS FUND AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION (ACLU) REQUESTED THAT A FEDERAL COURT IN WASHINGTON, D.C. ALLOW THEM TO JOIN ERIC HOLDER, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, IN DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PROVISIONS OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT CHALLENGED BY THE STATE OF ALASKA. SINCE 1975, ALASKA HAS BEEN ONE OF JUST THREE STATES COVERED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY SECTION 4(F)(4) OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT. THE CASE IS ALASKA V. HOLDER. THE FOUR ALASKA NATIVES AND FOUR TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS REPRESENT A CROSS-SECTION OF VOTERS WHO CONTINUE TO FACE BARRIERS TO VOTING AS A RESULT OF THE STATE'S NEGLECT, UNEQUAL TREATMENT, AND VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW. STATE OFFICIALS HAVE SHOWN THEY WILL NOT COMPLY WITH THE LAW UNTIL A COURT ORDERS THEM TO DO SO, OR THEY FACE THE THREAT OF A LAWSUIT. AS AN EXAMPLE, THEY FAILED TO IMPLEMENT SECTION 203 OF THE VRA FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS BEFORE A 2010 LAWSUIT WHICH ESTABLISHED VOTING RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, WAS SETTLED IN 2010 WITH CONTINUING OVERSIGHT THROUGH 2012. DISCRIMINATION IN ALASKA IS NOT A THING OF THE PAST, AND FEDERAL OVERSIGHT OF ALASKA'S ELECTIONS IS NO ACCIDENT. THE MASSIVE CHUITNA COAL PROJECT THREATENS TO DESTROY A VITAL SALMON HABITAT STREAM THAT THE TYONEK NATIVE VILLAGE UTILIZES FOR SUBSISTENCE FISHERIES. AFTER AGREEING TO ASSIST THE TRIBE IN PROTECTING ITS SUBSISTENCE FISHERIES RESOURCES, LEGAL RESEARCH ESTABLISHED THAT MUCH MORE WAS AT STAKE AS RECENT FIELD SURVEYS AND EXCAVATIONS FOUND NUMEROUS HOUSE PITS, CULTURAL FEATURES, AND RELIGIOUS REMAINS IN THE PROJECT AREA. UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT REQUIRES THAT THE FEDERAL AGENCY TASKED WITH JURISDICTION IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE IMPACTED TRIBE TO SEEK CONSULTATION REGARDING THE PROTECTION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES. UNDER EXISTING LAW TYONEK SHOULD BE GRANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY ITS CONCERNS ABOUT HISTORIC PROPERTIES, ADVISE ON THE IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL IMPORTANCE, ARTICULATE ITS VIEWS ON THE UNDERTAKING'S EFFECTS ON SUCH PROPERTIES, AND PARTICIPATE IN THE RESOLUTION OF ADVERSE EFFECTS. NARF HAS ENGAGED AN EXPERT AND HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE TRIBE'S COUNCIL, THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND OTHERS TO EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE THE ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS ON NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT ISSUES. NARF ALSO MET IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WITH TOP AGENCY PERSONNEL IN OCTOBER AND RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS FROM EPA, NOAA, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, NPS, NHPC, AND THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL ON NATIVE AMERICAN AFFAIRS TO MONITOR THE PROCESS AND ENSURE THAT TRIBAL CONSULTATION IS ADHERED TO. AS OCEAN TEMPERATURES RISE DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, MARINE MAMMALS AND FISH ARE MOVING NORTH. COMMERCIALLY VALUABLE FISH THAT HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN IN THE GULF OF ALASKA ARE SHIFTING TOWARD THE NORTHERN BERING SEA AND THE LARGE SCALE FISHING FLEETS ARE PLANNING TO FOLLOW THEM AND EXPAND THEIR OPERATIONS INTO THIS HIGHLY SENSITIVE ECOSYSTEM. THESE FLEETS EMPLOY BOTTOM TRAWLING, A HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE PRACTICE IN WHICH WEIGHTED NETS ARE DRAGGED INCHES ABOVE THE SEA FLOOR, REMOVING EVERYTHING IN THEIR PATH. NEVERTHELESS, THE NORTH PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL (NPFMC) CURRENTLY ALLOWS BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA AND IT IS HAVING A PROFOUND EFFECT ON SENSITIVE HABITAT AND LOCAL YUP'IK COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION, NPFMC HAS BEGUN A PROCESS TO CONSIDER WHETHER TO ALLOW THESE FLEETS TO EXPAND INTO THE NORTHERN BERING SEA, HOME TO THREATENED SPECIES LIKE THE WALRUS, ENDANGERED SPECIES SUCH AS THE STELLER SEA LION AND THE SPECTACLED EIDER, AND MANY ISOLATED YUP'IK AND INUPIAQ VILLAGES WHO HAVE BEEN THE STEWARDS OF THIS DIVERSE ECOSYSTEM FOR CENTURIES. THE BERING SEA ELDERS GROUP (BSE) IS AN ALLIANCE OF THIRTY NINE YUP'IK 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. NARF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE ELDERS GROUP ON BOTH ISSUES AND WE HAVE: (1) RESEARCHED POTENTIAL ABORIGINAL RIGHTS THAT THE ELDERS GROUP AND ITS CONSTITUENT TRIBES MAY POSSESS BASED ON THEIR LONG TERM EXCLUSIVE USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE AREA, (2) PREPARED THE ELDERS GROUP FOR NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE TRAWL FIS 250257 786 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 300 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 AND AS OF OCTOBER 15, MORE THAN 180 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 WORKING WITH THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF LAW LIBRARIES, LAW LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS ON A NATIONAL TRIBAL LAW INVENTORY PROJECT. THE TRIBAL LAW INVENTORY PROJECT IS PART OF THE LARGER NATIONAL INVENTORY PROJECT WHICH INCLUDES PROVIDING AND PRESERVING FREE PUBLIC ACCESS TO FEDERAL, STATE AND MUNICIPAL PRIMARY LAW. THE INVENTORY PROCESS UTILIZES VOLUNTEERS TO DETERMINE WHAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE, WHETHER THIS INFORMATION IS OFFICIAL AND WHETHER IT IS BEING PRESERVED. NILL IS WORKING WITH ITS PARTNERS TO DETERMINE WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT LEGAL RESOURCES WILL BE SOUGHT FROM TRIBES AND HOW THE INFORMATION MIGHT BE COLLECTED FROM TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS. 5517324 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 false false true 22 0 true 37 true false false false false false false false 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 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 0 0 0 KUNANI NIHIPALI 1.0 X 0 0 NATASHA V SINGH 1.0 X 0 0 RICHARD LUARKIE 1.0 X 0 0 MARSHALL MCKAY 1.0 X 0 0 VIRGINIA CROSS 1.0 X 0 0 MIKO BEASLEY DENSON 1.0 X 0 0 BARBARA SMITH 1.0 X 0 0 MARK MACARRO 1.0 X 0 0 BUFORD L ROLIN 1.0 X 0 0 RON HIS HORSE IS THUNDER 1.0 X 0 0 MOSES K N HAIA III 1.0 X 0 0 JULIE ROBERTS-HYSLOP 1.0 X 0 0 GARY HAYES 1.0 X 0 0 STEPHEN R LEWIS 1.0 X 0 0 PETER M PINO 1.0 X 0 0 JOHN ECHOHAWK 40.0 X 181757 32394 MICHAEL KENNEDY 40.0 X 105528 20903 RAY RAMIREZ 40.0 X 79548 14674 MORGAN O'BRIEN 40.0 X 101810 29998 MELODY MCCOY 40.0 X 146017 35865 KIM GOTTSCHALK 40.0 X 153896 29712 NATALIE LANDRETH 40.0 X 123178 12552 DON WHARTON 40.0 X 156897 16251 STEVEN MOORE 40.0 X 151057 33001 HEATHER KENDALL 40.0 X 149158 21873 RICHARD GUEST 40.0 X 135018 18188 DAVID GOVER 40.0 X 102355 28633 1586219 0 294044 11 false true false ROCKY HILL ADVISORS 7 ESSEX GREEN DRIVE 53-55 PEABODY MA 01960 FIN ADV, LEGAL CASES 129148 1 75811 13618849 2409729 16104389 LEGAL FEES 900099 1245587 1245587 1245587 55197 55197 0 1517 1517 10185 10185 10185 10185 3712348 1410000 3719412 223147 -7064 1186853 1179789 1179789 0 0 0 REIMBURSEMENTS 900099 10179 10179 HONORARIUMS 900099 2450 2450 NARF PUBLICATION 900099 786 786 10870 10870 24285 18620949 1269872 1246688 1330498 1330498 0 0 0 1137629 711386 243226 183017 0 1998719 1620923 246954 130842 110442 75039 29723 5680 354913 297770 14272 42871 194881 131067 31590 32224 0 0 27350 27350 30500 30500 120000 120000 16102 16102 450486 450079 305 102 6050 6050 519354 194733 42018 282603 75352 57337 5576 12439 0 241773 209909 20718 11146 338177 257708 41551 38918 0 18291 13285 436 4570 9296 3366 5442 488 0 50707 37080 4945 8682 15096 13420 1135 541 DIRECT MARKET MAILINGS 403641 0 0 403641 LIBRARY 40651 39802 304 545 BAD DEBT 31630 31630 0 0 COSTS RELATED TO LEGAL CASES 11792 11792 0 0 7533330 5517324 731647 1284359 109150 812047 207932 5404508 1398973 4927327 337480 578025 0 0 0 0 0 0 20000 0 82862 85398 1148320 977805 268612 170515 1759965 2653275 1609155 2393105 0 0 0 0 7739 8129 5801868 17032329 725294 780386 0 0 0 849 0 0 0 0 0 0 594256 34068 0 0 214484 235554 1534034 1050857 X 2499244 11441757 826162 3591993 942428 947722 4267834 15981472 5801868 17032329 X 11087619 626019 X false true true X true true X 4067627 2471678 4883293 4958526 16104389 32485513 4067627 2471678 4883293 4958526 16104389 32485513 1737543 30747970 236817 163021 99457 71125 66899 637319 33122832 9427382 0.92830 0.84045 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2984 44616 47600 7485730 7533330 526667 131667 508311 507481 452555 526667 1995014 2992521 149888 101903 52100 47600 351491 127078 126870 113139 131667 498754 748131 7678 11528 0 2984 22190 X X ASSIST IN RESEARCH - CLIENT CASES false 1768590 3627190 856065 4539715 2404013 649850 1285273 1768590 985392 1706805 288184 2404013 5007620 278721 4300949 985392 0.00000 0.20880 0.79120 false false 58937 58937 80000 80000 0 662575 579734 82841 346808 318071 28737 170515 HEDGE FUND 2193105 F PREFERRED STOCK 200000 F 2393105 0 RETIREMENT OBLIGATION 235554 235554 18620949 7533330 11087619 626019 110300 736319 11823938 19357268 626019 110300 736319 18620949 18620949 7643630 110300 110300 7533330 7533330 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.
