On October 29, 2010, the Native American Rights Fund will hold its 40th Anniversary Celebration hosted by the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma and the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. This unique gathering will include NARF's 40 Years of Indian Law Forum and NARF's 40th Anniversary Dinner. NARF is honored to celebrate four decades of standing firm for justice.

NARF's 40 Years of Indian Law Forum will highlight four decades of Indian law and NARF's role. We will examine current concerns and challenges within each of NARF’s priority areas and their impact on Indian law. Utilizing the tribal leaders and attorneys attending, in each priority area we will craft a shared vision for the future direction for that issue of Indian law. Each session will end with strategic outlines for how NARF can address each issue for the next 40 years.  In representing President Obama's Administration, the keynote luncheon speaker will be Larry Echo Hawk, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior.

The NARF's 40th Anniversary Dinner -- "40 for 40" -- will highlight the 40 tribes, individuals and organizations that have helped shape the 40 years of NARF. We will spotlight Native clients, past board and staff members and funding partners. This will be a celebration honoring the impact that NARF has had in Indian Country.

On October 30, NARF will hold a Native Justice Golf Challenge for tribal leaders at the WinStar Golf Course. This will be a friendly round of golf for tribal sponsors.  Notah Begay III will be the golf pro host for this event.  Notah was a three-time All American golfer at Stanford University and a four-time PGA Tour winner.  Notah has also been named as one of the top 100 Worldwide Sports Educators.
