The Washington Supreme Court has issued a letter in response to an ATNI resolution on Indigenous justice. The letter acknowledges historical and ongoing harms, reaffirms Tribal sovereignty, and calls for action to address inequities affecting Indigenous communities throughout Washington.

The resolution, "Rectifying the Dehumanization of Indigenous People in State Legal Systems," was adopted by the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI), which represents more than 50 Tribal governments throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Tribal nations that Lieff Cabraser regularly represents.
