Building Trust and Increasing Justice Through Presence in Tribal Communities

Grantees will learn how Michigan Indian Legal Services (MILS): 

1. Builds trust and relationships with tribal nations through consistent in-person presence, 

2. Maximizes its capacity to serve as many constituents as possible, and

3. Navigates and overcomes service delivery challenges. 

Hear from Cameron Fraser, MILS's Executive Director, about lessons learned and replicable practices for LSC grantees serving Indigenous populations.

"Having coworkers be involved in the [Native communities] and a part of the families helps a lot and ensures that we are providing a competent place for people to get legal services."
