Supreme Court Cases brought forward by NARF:
- 1974 Oneida V. Oneida and Madison Counties (reclaimation of land)
- 1976- Fisher v. Montana (right of tribal courts to decide on cases relating to adoption of Indian children)
- 1980 USA v. Sioux Nation (Attempt to reclaim Black Hills of Dakota, given compensation but refused money, wanted land)
- 1982 Seminole Tribe v. Butterworth (right to establish gambling enterprises on reservation land)
- 1986 Charrier v. Bell (secured rights to Indian burial grounds lead to 1990 Native American graves protection and reparation act).
However, it could be argued that the impact of the Nixon Presidency and help from the Fed Gov still remained central to progress and to a certain extent dependecy still existed.
