PEACEMAKING IS NOT ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

THE TERM REFERS TO TRADITIONAL WAYS OF RESOLVING CONFLICT IN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES

Indigenous Peacemaking Initiative

Founded in 1992, NARF’s Indigenous Peacemaking Initiative (IPI) is dedicated to helping Native American Tribes and communities implement and recover traditional Indigenous dispute resolution practices, frequently called “Peacemaking.” We accomplish this by providing: (1) a place for Tribes to share peacemaking materials with one another; (2) technical assistance in developing or revising peacemaking programs; (3) training in facilitation and other peacemaking topics, and (4) advocacy.
