Native Tribes Sue Alaska. (Racefile).(Brief Article)
The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is representing 10 villages, the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council, and the Alaska Native Justice Center in a lawsuit calling for adequate police protection in Alaska Native communities. The plaintiffs in the case, scheduled for trial in April, allege that the state has discriminated against off-road Native villages by failing to provide them with minimally adequate police protection.
The plaintiffs claim that, since Alaska's 1959 statehood, the state has effectively immobilized the law enforcement and dispute resolution systems of Native Village Councils, while failing to provide the communities with any adequate police protection through the state law enforcement system. The lawsuit describes a racially based, dual system of law enforcement inherited from the prestatehood days of the territorial government, which intentionally maintained a separate system and standard of police protection for Native and white communities, rendering Native Villages defenseless to crime.
