We truly appreciate your visit to our website and hope that you visit the Northern Plains Indian Law Center while at UND.  The center is located on the third floor of O’Kelly and is a clearinghouse of information on all aspects of Indian law.  It houses the constitutions and codes of several Indian tribes throughout the United States and particularly in the Northern Plains.  The center is also a hub of activity on any given school day.  Many students, both native and non-native, utilize the center to study, meet, and just relax.  We cordially invite all of you to do the same.  Tah-p-we-Ki-tah-tah-mi-i-n, or Hiy-Hiy (Translated from Cree, means Thank you, very much). email: nalsa.und@law.und.edu

GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT:
Tah-ni-si-Ki-yah-w-wow (Translated from Cree, means Hello, how is everyone?)  My name is Joseph Morsette.  My Indian name is: Is-pi-mik-ki-ew (Translated from Cree means High Eagle).  I am a third-year law student and an enrolled tribal member of the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of Rocky Boy, Montana.  As the current President of NALSA for the 2008-2009 academic school year, I want to welcome and thank you for visiting the NALSA website.

GREETING FROM THE VICE-PRESIDENT:
My name is Diane Wehrman.  I am a third-year law student.  I joined NALSA in my first year because of an interest in Federal Indian Law.  Federal Indian Law and Tribal Law are growing and ever-evolving fields.  People devote their entire careers to the topic and often can only scratch the surface.  NALSA has been a great way for me to learn more about dynamic topics that will impact my career no matter what areas of law I practice.  I have learned a great deal so far and I know that it is just the beginning.  Thanks for your interest in the group and I hope you will contact us with any questions.
