Tribal Court Community Survey Closing
Have you received judicial services from Tlingit & Haida's Tribal Court? The Whitener Group is finishing up a community survey of our Tribal Court for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and we want to hear from our tribal citizens.

The survey is part of an overall assessment to help identify the Tribal Court's needs and will measure the performance of the Tribal Court in five areas:
  • Access to Justice
  • Expedition and Timeliness
  • Equality, Fairness and Integrity
  • Independence and Accountability
  • Tribal Specific Findings

Tribal Court Survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/ccthita

Tlingit & Haida’s Tribal Court has subject matter jurisdiction over a large range of civil and criminal issues including adoptions, child custody, child support, divorce, domestic violence, guardianship, marriage, and paternity.
