The next National Indian Nations Conference will be held in 2023.
The Tribal Law and Policy Institute (TLPI) has had the honor of coordinating last nine National Indian Nations Conferences (www.OVCINC.org) which address the unique needs of crime victims/survivors in Indian Country. On behalf of the TLPI Board of Directors and TLPI staff, we would like to thank the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) for sponsoring these important conferences and to thank all of the participants, presenters, scholarship recipients and volunteers that we have been privileged to work with over the course of the last twenty years. Please note that previous conference materials can be found at www.twdl1a.wcbzw.com/prior-conferences.

Unfortunately, TLPI will not be coordinating the next National Indian Nations Conference that is being planned for December 2023. This was a difficult decision for TLPI and we came to it reluctantly, after much deliberation. Many factors came into play in our decision. The most crucial factor, however, has been the increasing bureaucratic challenges around the onerous conference approval process, especially the increasing restrictions on food and beverage – aspects of deep importance to bringing Native people together in respectful, healthy, healing and culturally appropriate way. With every conference delivery, we have strived to deliver a better, improved experience for the participants. We have concluded, however, that the increasingly challenging conference approval process substantially limits our ability to even meet (let alone exceed) the high standards set in previous conferences.

SaxmanOne, OVC’s Tribal Logistical Contractor, will be coordinating the December 2023 National Indian Nations Conference for OVC. Please direct any December 2023 conference questions to:

The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), Office of Justice Programs, within the U.S. Department of Justice is pleased to announce the 16th National Indian Nations Conference: Justice for Victims of Crime. The Conference will be held Wednesday, December 5, 2018 through Friday, December 7, 2018, on the reservation of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, California, with the theme, "Braiding Strength, Hope, and Healing for the Path Forward." This year's conference is once again coordinated by the Tribal Law and Policy Institute under a grant from OVC. 

The 16th National Indian Nations Conference has been formally approved by the U.S. Department of Justice, however, the Justice Department is unable to fund a working dinner and that event will not occur. There will an optional working luncheon on Thursday December 6th fully funded by non-federal sponsors including Casey Family Programs and San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (No Federal Funds will be used to provide this meal)..

The purpose of the 16th National Indian Nations Conference—the largest U.S. Department of Justice sponsored Indian Nations conference, is to bring together Native American victims, victim advocates, tribal leaders, victim service providers, community volunteers, prosecutors, judicial and law enforcement personnel, family violence and sexual assault specialists, medical providers, social services and mental health personnel, probation/corrections, criminal justice and juvenile justice personnel, as well as federal and state agency representatives to share their knowledge, experiences and ideas for developing programs that serve the unique needs of crime victims in Indian Country. 

This year's conference goals are:
