Legal Consultations
The Legal Consultations series, 1968-1997 (10.5 linear feet), documents Ford's work as a consultant and expert witness in legislation and litigation on Native American foodways, culture, and land use. The series is divided into four subseries: Fikes v. Furst Hopi case files, NAGPRA legislation files, and Zuni case files. These files include correspondence, court filings, interviews, and expert reports. The series also includes records documenting Ford's involvement in the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and his work on behalf of the Hopi and Zuni Native American groups engaged in litigation.
