The Sovereignty Project houses three core initiatives designed to advance educational and legal efforts related to Native nations and Indian law:

• The Native Amicus Briefing Project—in partnership with the Native American Rights Fund and the National Congress of American Indians’ Tribal Supreme Court Project—is a collaborative research effort coordinated by the Sovereignty Project to develop briefs and track ongoing cases related to Indian law in the federal courts.
• A component of the Native Amicus Briefing Project, the Case Tracking Project monitors and documents ongoing Indian law cases in the federal courts.
• The Sovereignty Project collaborates with Northwestern Professor of Law Erin Delaney and Northwestern Assistant Professor of Sociology Beth Redbird on the Tribal Constitutions Project, which is supported by the National Science Foundation. The Tribal Constitutions Project examines the evolution of tribal sovereignty through constitutionalization.
