Legal Aid for MN Prisoners (LAMP) Legal assistance for prisoners with civil law issues Programs that provide assistance to Native Americans who require legal advice or representation regarding federal recognition, treaty rights, fishing and hunting rights, environmental protection, reserve boundaries, land acquisition, land and water rights, Native American games, housing, health, taxes or jurisdictional issues. Lawyers working in this area deal with treaties, statutes, executive orders, court decisions, and administrative measures that define the relationship between the United States, Native American tribes and individuals, and states. Defenders of Native American laws can be found in federal agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Claims Commission, which hears and adjudicates claims against the United States on behalf of a Native American tribe. Private law firms also have lawyers who specialize in issues related to Native American lands and reservations, tribal rights, and other legal issues affecting Native Americans. Some Native American tribes recognized as sovereign entities with the power to regulate their internal and social organization have lawyers who may themselves be members of the tribe and/or lawyers who are hired as “attorney general” to manage their tribe`s legal affairs. Public services also serve the Native American community with lawyers who specialize in the Indian Child Protection Act and others who serve children, the elderly, or impoverished members of the Native American community.
