Please help. Our office (Hopi Public Defender) would like to find out just
how many Public Defender's Offices there are in Native American Tribal
Courts. Besides ours in Hopi, we have heard of some other Tribal Courts
that apparently have Public Defender's Offices, including: Navajo,
Flathead, Colville, Yakima, Coer'dalene, Cheyenne River, Fort Belknap,
Rosebud Sioux, Pine Ridge, Standing Rock, and Kunolt (with apologies for
misspellings). Is this list accurate?
Anyone who has any information, please pass on whatever you know, including
the Tribe's name, the phone number and/or address of the Defender's Office,
how many lawyers or advocates they have, and anything else that may be of
interest. Of course, if you could provide us with any resources that may
have more information, that would be great.
Thank you for your help.
