Protecting Native American Sovereignty

The Tule River Tribe of California has had its sovereignty chipped away for centuries -- its land and water were taken away and its people were forced to move numerous times. In the last decade, the Tribe has started to bounce back, and is re-asserting its sovereignty in a variety of ways. One area of grave concern to the tribe is public safety. In particular, they are frustrated that local law enforcement does not understand that they share jurisdiction of the reservation and surrounding area with Tribal police, and that Tribal police are part of Federal law enforcement. We produced this video to help them educate local and state law enforcement on their own department. The video is also being used to promote the department, which the Tribe is rightfully very proud of.
