Native American lawyer symposium

Coyote WarriorIn Coyote Warrior, Paul VanDevelder tells the epic story of the three tribes that saved Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery from starvation, their century-long battle to forge a new nation, and the extraordinary journey of one man to redeem a father's dream–and the dignity of his people.

VanDevelder was contacted by a group of Albuquerque lawyers to start a scholarship fund for Native-American students called the “Coyote Warrior Fund.” The first two students to receive the money are graduating this year.

And this Friday is The First Thirteen – Personal Reflections of the Argument, which is a symposium comprised of the first thirteen Native attorneys who argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.

So far eleven attorneys have committed and will be discussing their experiences.

The event will be at the University Of New Mexico School Of Law and proceeds go to fund the Pre-Law Summer Institute for American Indians and Alaska Natives.
