Breaking the Ice: Using legal skills to support Native communities

Title: Executive director, Native Ways Federation Education: B.A., history and American Indian studies, University of Minnesota; J.D., University of Minnesota Law School Native Ways Federation Executive Director Carly Bad Heart Bull is working to encourage greater and more effective philanthropic support for American Indian communities.
