Lakota Peoples Law Project
Since 2005, Lakota Law has worked with Lakota tribes in the Dakotas to win Indigenous and environmental justice. That began with rethinking tribal child and family services programs. South Dakota's culturally biased practices and the ability to profit from housing Native children in group homes led to an epidemic of children being taken from their families and tribes over the last few decades. Pine Ridge, Standing Rock, and Rosebud reservations have all received federal planning grants and are working toward their own federally funded, tribally run child and family service programs.
In 2016, Lakota Law began assisting water protectors in the stands against the Dakota Access, Line 3, and (now shelved) Keystone XL pipelines. Lakota Law director Chase Iron Eyes leads a diverse staff dedicated to taking on injustice, providing for Native youth and elders, respecting treaty law, and lifting up frontline Indigenous communities.
