The National Indian Law Library
For
the modern-day Indian, information is priceless in helping their fight to keep tribal
homelands intact and traditional tribal ways alive. The National Indian Law Library has
been providing Indian tribes and Indian law attorneys with a wealth of Indian law
materials for the past 27 years. The materials are documents ranging from legal pleadings
written in vital Indian law cases to a collection of Tribal codes.
The
National Indian Law Library began as a special library project of the Native American
Rights Fund. It is designed to serve as a clearinghouse for materials on American Indian
Law for tribes, private and tribal attorneys, legal service programs, law firms, federal
and state governments and agencies, and for students. Essentially, it was intended to
carry out one of the Native American Rights Fund's priorities, the systematic development
of Indian law. The National Indian Law Library has one of the largest collection of Indian
law materials in the nation. Its mission is to continue to develop and make accessible a
unique and valuable collection of information and to assist people with their Indian law
research needs. Special emphasis is placed on helping individuals and organizations who
are working on behalf of Native Americans and have the potential to positively influence
their lives. The library serves its patrons by providing reference and basic research
assistance and by locating and delivering relevant information. Please contact David
