Welcome

The Harvard Native American Law Students Association (NALSA) is a student-run organization dedicated to fostering a supportive atmosphere for Native American students at Harvard Law School, and is composed of Native American law students and students interested in issues affecting the Native community. NALSA first and foremost strives to provide a support system for indigenous law students by providing academic support and opportunities—including participation in the National NALSA Moot Court Competition—and social events. NALSA also works to promote campus discourse on Federal Indian and tribal law issues, support student and faculty inquiry into these areas of law, and recruit Native students to HLS.

This year will be an exciting one for us. We are planning a number of events that you can look forward to participating in, including:

• Dinner with Oneida Visiting Professor of Law, Professor Robert Anderson
• Salsa night with other affinity groups on campus
• Mixers with Boston-area NALSA groups and Native graduate student organizations at Harvard
• Potluck dinners with the Harvard University Native American Program (HUNAP)
• An Indian Law conference hosted at Harvard Law School

If you have any questions about NALSA, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at nalsa@mail.law.harvard.edu. We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Sincerely,

Skawenniio Barnes & Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse
