Alaska Native Justice Center

The Alaska Native Justice Center chose to send their entire legal team on vacation/to a conference the week of my hearing, when I needed an advocate to sit with me in the courtroom. They wouldn't help me file for a continuance so that I could gather evidence, they refused to even let me store my evidence at their office so it wouldn't get stolen. It fit into a binder and has since been stolen out of my car. I needed help and they chose to use tribal funds to get drunk on vacation and pretend that they help people in this legal system. I was belittled, when I told them about the abuse I was experiencing and how much worse it would get in the coming months. I told Ruby and Taylor that I needed help. I needed someone to sit with me in the courtroom to help me stay focused so that I could tell the judge what I needed to tell her. And they told me I'd be fine, and that they'd see me after their conference. Not a single person from the Justice Center wanted to help me. I'm tired of seeing you guys posting advertisements claiming to be available to help when all you do is take down people's names so you can collect grant money to go on vacation. I'm tired of non-profits claiming to help people and then sucking up all the grant money to do stuff like go to conferences. There was no reason the entire team had to go. Why are native women not worth helping?????

Friendly, helpful staff 🌻

Again, I tried to get help with this place. Again, I get the door slammed in my face because they don't help a mother in need of defense against the state and Kawerak did nothing either because the female did not like me. It is sad that anyone who can not afford an attorney and try to come here and ask for help, they don't help fight for native rights at all 😭 This place does not even deserve a star at all, no wonder why paralegals find a real attorney to work for.
