American Indians

This organization supports American Indian and Alaska Native justice systems through education, information sharing, and advocacy.

This organization works to build Tribal capacity to keep Native children safe, supported, and connected to their families and communities.

The Tribal Justice and Safety website provides information for American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal governments to further improve the safety of their communities. This site also provides information to the general public and other federal agencies to better understand the resources available for improving safety in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

The National Indian Justice Center is an independent national resource for Tribal courts. The Center designs and delivers legal education, research, and technical assistance programs to help improve Tribal courts systems and the administration of justice in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

NIJ's research on Tribal crime and justice seeks to—

1. provide an accurate reporting of crime and violence;
2. provide reliable, valid estimates of the scope of the problem; and
3. identify barriers to and possible solutions for dealing with these significant public safety issues.
