However, most of our lawyers are both U.S. citizens and citizens of their respective tribal nations. Our members, therefore, also share the communal responsibility, either directly or indirectly, of protecting the governmental sovereignty of the more than 560 independent Native American tribal governments in the United States. The Formation of NNABA It began in 1973 as the American Indian Lawyers Association. After a few name changes (American Indian Bar Association to Native American Bar Association), in 1980 we reorganized and developed a chapter system for state Indian bar associations, and we became the National Native American Bar Association (NNABA). The Formation of NNABA As the name Native American implies, NNABA represents the interests of all populations indigenous to the lands which are now collectively the United States: American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians.

  • The War on Poverty, Lawyers, and the Tribal Sovereignty Movement, 1964-1974
    ‘The Sovereignty that Seemed Lost Forever’: The War on Poverty, Lawyers, and the Tribal Sovereignty Movement, 1964-1974 Aurélie A. Roy Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Aurélie A. Roy All rights reserved ‘The Sovereignty that Seemed Lost Forever’1: The War on Poverty, Lawyers, and the Tribal Sovereignty Movement, 1964-1974 Aurélie A. Roy ABSTRACT Relying on interviews of Indian rights lawyers as well as archival research, this collective history excavates a missing page in the history of the modern tribal sovereignty movement. At a time when vocal Native American political protests were raging from Washington State, to Alcatraz Island, to Washington, D.C., a small group of newly graduated lawyers started quietly resurrecting Indian rights through the law. Between 1964 and 1974, these non-Indian and Native American lawyers litigated on behalf of Indians, established legal assistance programs as part of the War on Poverty efforts to provide American citizens with equal access to a better life, and founded institutions to support the protection of tribal rights. In the process, they would also inadvertently create both a profession and an academic field—Indian law as we know it today— which has since attracted an increasing number of lawyers, including Native Americans. This story is an attempt at reconstituting a major dimension of the rise of tribal sovereignty in the postwar era, one that has until now remained in the shadows of history: how Indian rights, considered obsolete until the 1960s, gained legitimacy by seizing a series of opportunities made available in part through ‘accidents’ of history.

  • "The Rebellion's Rebellious Little Brother" : the Martial, Diplomatic
    “THE REBELLION’S REBELLIOUS LITTLE BROTHER”: THE MARTIAL, DIPLOMATIC, POLITICAL, AND PERSONAL STRUGGLES OF JOHN SEVIER, FIRST GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE A thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Western Carolina University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in History. By Meghan Nichole Essington Director: Dr. Honor Sachs Assistant Professor of History History Department Committee Members: Dr. Andrew Denson, History Dr. Alex Macaulay, History April 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who have helped me in making this thesis a reality. It is impossible to name every individual who impacted the successful completion of this study. I must mention Dr. Kurt Piehler, who sparked my interest in Tennessee’s first governor during my last year of undergraduate study at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Piehler encouraged me to research what historians have written about John Sevier. What I found was a man whose history had largely been ignored and forgotten. Without this initial inquiry, it is likely that I would have picked a very different topic to study. I am greatly indebted to Dr. Piehler. While an undergraduate in the history program at UTK I met a number of exceptional historians who inspired and encouraged me to go to graduate school. Dr. Bob Hutton, Dr. Stephen Ash, and Dr. Nancy Schurr taught me to work harder, write better, and never give up on my dream. They have remained mentors to me throughout my graduate career, and their professional support and friendship is precious to me. Also, while at UTK, I met a number of people who have continued to be influential and incredible friends.

Echo Hawk, an enrolled member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, will resign his position effective April 27, 2012 to assume a leadership position in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Larry has done an extraordinary job at Interior, opening a new chapter in our nation-to-nation relationship with American Indian and Alaska Natives tribal governments and carrying out President Obama’s vision for empowering Indian nations,” Salazar said. “During his tenure, the Department accelerated the restoration of tribal homelands, improved public safety in tribal communities, resolved century-old water disputes, made critical investments in education, and reached many more milestones that are helping Indian nations pursue the future of their choosing. We thank Larry for his exemplary leadership and wish him all the best as he begins a new chapter in his life.” “The opportunity to participate in remedying the negative perceptions of the federal government in Indian Country was a formidable challenge at first, but I am proud to say that I have served my country as an agent for change here in Indian Affairs,” said Echo Hawk. “I believe at the end of this Administration, the work we accomplished will leave a lasting legacy for American Indian and Alaska Natives.
