The US Department of Justice, Office of Tribal Justice (OTJ) has scheduled a series of tribal consultations in September to solicit feedback from tribal leaders and Tribes’ authorized designees regarding the results of the Alaska Pilot Program. The Pilot Program allows Alaska Tribes to take steps toward implementing Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction (STCJ) under the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022.

OTJ intends to use the views and opinions shared by tribal leaders and authorized designees at these consultations to support the potential implementation of STCJ by Alaska Tribes as well as to develop a report to Congress on the current status of the Alaska Pilot Program. The consultation schedule can be found in OTJ’s “Dear Tribal Leader” letter, and the accompanying framing paper contains a list of discussion questions for prompting input.

Alaska Native Justice Center (ANJC) and the Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center (AKNWRC) are hosting a virtual tribal roundtable on August 28 from 12:00-1:00 pm to:

Help tribal leaders and authorized designees develop consultation comments,

obtain clarification on the scope of the discussion questions, and

find common ground with one another regarding the strengths and challenges of the Alaska Pilot Program.

This roundtable will be a space for open dialogue related to each of the framing paper questions. ANJC and AKNWRC attorneys will be available to answer related questions

Banishment is an order by a court or government entity directing a person to stay away from a specific geographic area. Alaska Tribes generally use banishment orders to prohibit people from entering or remaining in tribal communities, which are typically small — some only accessible by airplane, boat, or snow machine.

Sometimes Tribes banish people as part of a tribal protective order. Under federal law, Alaska and other states are required to enforce tribal protective orders as if the order had been issued by a state court. However, the State of Alaska will not prosecute the violation of a banishment order that is a provision of a tribal protective order.

This webinar on August 19 at noon Alaska time will discuss 1) enforcement options for Alaska Tribes, 2) potential risks and mitigation strategies for Tribes and tribal officers using those options, and 3) guidance on drafting tribal protective orders that are subject to state prosecution.

Debunking Tribal Justice Myths: Alaskan Native and Native American legal issues are complex and often deeply personal to tribal communities. As a result, tribal justice myths frequently arise from lawyers, tribal leaders, and the non-Native community. Sifting through what is true or false in everyday life can be difficult. This webinar will address common tribal justice myths and debunk them while informing you about the legal reality. A correct legal foundation is important for tribal communities to assert their rights and exercise self-governance.

We welcome tribal leaders, judges, and staff; non-lawyers; and anyone who wants to learn more about tribal justice in Alaska.
