Mitchell Hamline student, Dominic Terry, has been elected as the Secretary 
of the National Native American Law Student Association (NNALSA) for the 2017-2018 academic year.
His profile on the NNALSA website says:
Yá’át’ééh (Hello),
My name is Dominic Terry and I am a member of the Navajo Nation (Diné). I am a student at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota and a full-time Certified Student Attorney for the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office – Child Protection Unit.
In my role as a Certified Student Attorney, I advocate for the best interests of Children in Need of Protection or Services. I assist on Indian Child Welfare Act matters and work to ensure that active efforts are being made to reunify Indian Children and families. Above all, I am interested in restoring and preserving Indian families with the hope that future generations will be able to continue their connection to their cultural identity.
When I am not working or enduring the rigors of law school, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Theresa, and sons, Mateo and Roice.
Ahéhee’ (Thank you).
The National Native American Law Students Association (“NNALSA”) was founded in 1970 to promote the study and development of Federal Indian Law, Tribal Law, and traditional forms of governance. Additionally, NNALSA supports Native Americans in law school, both in their own personal academic and life achievements, and in their efforts to educate their peers and communities about Indian law issues.
