An enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, Mr. Harper is also one of the leading Native American lawyers in the country. Mr. Harper is extremely well-qualified to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the UNHRC. If confirmed, Mr. Harper will be the first Native American and the first enrolled tribal member to serve as an Ambassador for the United States. NNABA represents over 2,500 American Indian, Alaska Native and Hawaiian Native attorneys throughout the United States. There are currently no U.S. Ambassadors who are American Indian. Of particular relevance, the rights of indigenous peoples are often deliberated by the various bodies of the United Nations. Mr. Harper has worked to ensure that the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has been a prominent topic within the various United Nations human rights bodies.
