Meet Hunter Cox, Siletz grant recipient at the Native American Rights Fund
From the Native American Rights Fund
Each summer, NARF hosts a sum-
mer clerkship program, a 10- to 12-week
program for second-year law students.
Unlike most law clerk projects that
consist mainly of legal research and
writing, NARF’s projects are extremely
challenging because NARF practices
before federal, state and Tribal forums,
and because most of its cases – whether
at the administrative, trial or appellate
level – are complex and involve novel
legal issues.
This summer, the law clerk pro-
gram was supported by a grant from the
Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians
through the Siletz Tribal Charitable Con-
tribution Fund. This summer, NARF has
six law clerks – two in the Alaska office,
one in the D.C. office and three in the
Boulder office.
Law clerk Hunter Cox (Prairie Band
of Potawatomi Nation) was chosen to be
the recipient of this grant due to his recent
and impactful work collaborating with
NARF attorney Steve Moore to protect
the rights of Native high school students
to wear their eagle feathers during their
graduation ceremony.
Earlier this month, NARF, California
Indian Legal Services (CILS) and the
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
of Northern California advocated on
behalf of Native students in Lemoore,
Calif., who wanted to wear eagle feathers
at their graduation ceremony.
The gift of an eagle feather is a great
honor and is typically given to recog-
nize an important transition in a young
person’s life. Many graduates are given
eagle feathers in recognition of their
educational journey and the honor the
graduate brings to his or her family, com-
munity and Tribe.
Hunter, along with Steve, CILS and
ACLU, sent a letter on the students’ behalf
requesting the school district to allow
the students to wear their eagle feathers
during graduation. After initially denying
the students’ requests, the school district
relented once receiving the letter and
allowed the students to wear their feathers
despite originally denying the students’
request.

NARF thanks the Confederated
Tribes of Siletz Indians and the Siletz
Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund for
its grant to further the NARF law clerk
program, which allows Native law stu-
dents to make an impact on Indian law
and to Native people during their term
at NARF.
