Two judges, one goal
In TRIBAL JUSTICE, two Native American judges reach back to traditional concepts of justice in order to reduce incarceration rates, foster greater safety for their communities and create a more positive future for youth. By addressing the root causes of crime, they are modeling restorative systems that are working. Mainstream courts across the country begin to take notice.
TRIBAL JUSTICE broadens the awareness of issues surrounding Native Americans and will be followed by a facilitated discussion on some of the judicial issues relevant to our communities.
