About UO Native American Law Students Association
The Native American Law Students Association at the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR represents a dedicated community of law students united by their commitment to Native American legal advocacy and indigenous rights. This student organization serves as a welcoming space for individuals passionate about Indian law, whether they are Native American students pursuing legal careers or allies interested in supporting tribal communities through legal practice.
UO NALSA's mission extends beyond the classroom to encompass meaningful outreach and community engagement. The organization actively reaches out to Native communities throughout Oregon and beyond, encouraging Native people to pursue legal education and develop the skills necessary to advocate effectively for their own nations and peoples. By fostering recruitment and support networks, UO NALSA helps build a more diverse legal profession equipped to address the unique challenges facing tribal communities.
Members of this Eugene-based organization strive to present indigenous views and values within the greater School of Law community, working to shift legal education toward greater cultural awareness and understanding of Native issues. The association recognizes that effective advocacy for Native clients requires not only technical legal knowledge but also deep respect for tribal sovereignty, traditional governance systems, and the lived experiences of indigenous peoples.
Through collaborative programming, networking events, and community partnerships, UO NALSA creates meaningful connections among law students, legal professionals, scholars, and tribal leaders. The organization provides a supportive environment where members can explore their professional interests while contributing to the broader movement for tribal sovereignty and indigenous rights. Located at the University of Oregon in Eugene, UO NALSA embodies the values of community, cultural pride, and legal excellence in service to Native American communities.
