Tribal Trust Cases
In 2004 and again in 2005, records hold notices were issued alerting NARA staff to their obligations to preserve relevant operational records with respect to two tribal trust lawsuits: Jicanlla Apache Nation and Pueblo of Laguna. Recently, additional lawsuits involving other named tribes have been filed that also require the issuance of records retention orders. There are at present over 100 tnbal trust lawsuits filed in various courts which may result in additional retention orders being issued over the coming months and for the foreseeable future Because of this possibility, a blanket notice (NARA Notice 2008-046) has been issued that informs all staff members of their duty to preserve relevant records for all tribal trust cases. It also provides specific instructions as to how to preserve these records. Below IS a list of all current tnbal trust lawsuits Those suits where an order has already been issued requiring records retention have hyperlinks to the specific records retention order issued by the court. As additional records retention orders are issued or additional lawsuits are filed, NARA notices will be issued to that effect and the list below will be updated. Questions regarding this continuing obligation may be directed to Assistant General Counsel Jean Whyte, in NARA's Office of General Counsel, who can be reached by telephone at (301) 837-2926
