of the Native American Resources Committee and a member
of the editorial board of Natural Resources and Environment,
an ABA quarterly journal. He also serves on the federal

Conflict Resolution and served a four-year term as a member
of the Indigenous Peoples Subcommittee of the National Environmental
Justice Advisory Committee, an advisory committee chartered
