Introduction to Tribal Courts
Oklahoma is the home of 39 tribal governments. As sovereign independent nations, each tribe has the inherent authority to operate it's own tribal court. These courts decide matters involving tribal members and within a Tribe's area of land defined as "Indian Country".
Oklahoma Tribes use two different types of courts; Tribal Courts and CFR(Court of Indian Offenses) Courts (Courts of Federal Regulations). Tribal courts are operated by the Tribe itself and may choose to hear only certain types of cases. Other tribes have chosen to rely upon CFR courts established and operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).
Generally, Tribal and CFR courts and their court clerks are accustomed to tribal members coming to them for assistance in filling out simple legal documents for the court to consider. Many of the Tribal Courts have form pleadings which only require blanks to be filled in and can be completed by non-attorneys.
Oklahoma Indian Legal Services has developed this directory listing the types of cases for which each Tribal and CFR Court has form pleadings available. You may contact your Tribe's court clerk to request the needed forms. In many instances the Clerk can assist you in filling out the information. Filing fees vary among courts; however, Tribal court fees are consistently lower than state or federal
court costs.
Tribal and CFR courts are a valuable resource to Oklahoma Indian citizens. They frequently provide a less expensive and more timely resolution to a legal problem.

Oklahoma Indian Legal Services, Inc.
Oklahoma Indian Legal Services (OILS) is a nonprofit organization that provides free legal services to low income Native Americans in Oklahoma. OILS represents Indian people in civil
cases connected with their Indian status. OILS also provides community education programs about legal issues to Native American groups.
OILS deals with five general areas of Indian law. The first is Indian Child Welfare. This includes ICWA cases, adoptions and guardianships. The second area of law is Indian Housing. This
includes MHO eviction and habitability issues. The third area is Natural Resources. This includes trust or restricted land problems, mineral interests, probates, wills, and determination of
heirships. The next area of concentration is Tribal Sovereignty. The final area is Individual Rights. This includes education, access to health care, discrimination, and Indian Civil Rights Act
issues.
To be eligible for services you must be low income. OILS does not handle criminal cases.
If you would like to apply for services, call OILS on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. An intake person will ask you questions about your legal problem and get
needed information for your application. If OILS is unable to assist you, their attorneys will try and give you advice or refer you to an agency who may be able to help.
