www.ifhurbanrez.org
Intertribal Friendship House (IFH) located in Oakland, CA was established in 1955 as one of the first urban American Indian community centers in the nation. The Bay Area American Indian community is multi-tribal, made of Native people and their descendants — those who originate here and those who have come to the Bay region from all over the United States. For urban Native people IFH has served as the Urban Reservation and Homeland.
It is one of the few places that keeps Native people connected to their culture and traditions through traditional & contemporary dance, drumming, basket weaving, history, language, Native parenting and beading classes, and the many social gatherings, cultural events, and ceremonies that are held there. Intertribal Friendship House is more than an organization. It is the heart of a vibrant tribal community.

The Judicial Council of California - Tribal Projects Unit 455 Golden Gate Ave. 6th Floor San Francisco, CA 94102 (415) 865-7739 With federal and state funding, the Tribal Projects Unit assists with the development of policies, positions, and programs to ensure the highest quality of justice and service for California’s Native American communities and serves as a liaison to those communities in cases relating to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and family violence (domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking). Two CFCC projects helped pave the way for this new unit. One was the Native American Community Justice Project, designed to enhance and improve the administration of justice for Native American victims of family violence. The other was the Indian Child Welfare Act Initiative, designed to improve compliance with federal and state laws that promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families. Both of these projects partner with Native American communities to identify needs related to family violence and ICWA. In an effort to promote a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to improving the state court system’s response in these cases, the Tribal Projects Unit will continue to partner with Tribes and tribal communities to hear their needs and provide services that respond to those needs. Education
We offer an array of collaborative events and trainings related to ICWA for Tribes, tribal social workers, tribal court staff, judges, attorneys, social workers, probation officers, and court personnel to attend.
