Native in the Spotlight: John Echohawk
Pawnee attorney John Echohawk is among those who initiated and nurtured the most important Indian law cases in modern history.

Name a momentous case– the Boldt fishing rights decision, the Cobell v. Salazar Indian trust fund case, Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe — and Echohawk played a major role in advocating for strong, fact-based representation, forever changing the legal landscape for Native people.
