Dear NARF friends and allies,

In this time of uncertainty, we hope that you and yours are safe and
healthy. We wanted to let you know that we are taking all necessary
steps to keep our team at the Native American Rights Fund well. We are
monitoring the situation and making necessary changes to the way that
we do our day-to-day business. We also will be making a decision soon
about how to handle our 50th anniversary gala that is scheduled for
May.

Even as we make accommodations for restricted travel and remote
working conditions, we remain absolutely committed to NARF's
mission. We will continue to protect and advance the rights of Native
individuals, tribes, and communities. In fact, in difficult times such
as these, it is even more important that we continue to stand strong.
We must be vigilant against efforts to reduce or eliminate tribal
sovereignty as well as short-sighted laws and policies that will
adversely affect our communities.

There are many challenges in the world right now, but you can be sure
that the fight for Native rights continues. Even as our national
landscape continues to change, know that your support will continue to
make a difference in the lives of Native Americans nationwide.

We especially appreciate having you by our side during these difficult
times.

Thank you.

John E. Echohawk
(Pawnee)
NARF Executive Director
