Northwest Indian lawyers award scholarships Wednesday, January 12, 2005 The Northwest Indian Bar Association (NIBA) recently awarded $6,500 in scholarships to Northwest Native law students as part of an ongoing effort to support Indian students seeking a legal education. Since 2003, NIBA and its sister group, the Washington State Bar Association Indian Law Section, have raised and donated nearly $40,000 in scholarships to aspiring Indian lawyers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. “NIBA is excited and grateful to be in a position to support Northwest Native law students, financially and otherwise,” said NIBA President Lael Echohawk, reservation counsel for the Tulalip Tribes and a member of the Pawnee Tribe. “The Indian Legal Scholars Program awards acknowledge the students’ demonstrated commitment to Indian Country and showcase the Northwest tribal bar’s pride in our future Indian lawyers.” In December 2004, the following Native law students were awarded scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000.
