The CA Tribal Court Personnel Association is pleased to share information regarding the upcoming FREE Tribal Court Training, “Guardians of Justice – Tribal Nations Rising to the Challenge,” scheduled for August 12–14, 2026.

We are honored to assist in sharing this important training opportunity being offered in Indian Country throughout the United States. This session will be held at the Pechanga Government Center (12705 Pechanga Road, Temecula, CA), located near the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California.

All Tribal Courts are encouraged to participate in this engaging training designed to highlight innovative approaches, strategies, and best practices in tribal court operations.

The California Tribal Court Personnel Associations’ mission is to empower tribal court personnel through education, resources, and collaborative support that promote justice and sustain cultural integrity within Indigenous communities.

The California Tribal Court Personnel Association is a California nonprofit mutual benefit corporation recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

We provide education, training, and resources to help tribal court personnel succeed in their roles. Our goal is to ensure court staff are knowledgeable, confident, and prepared to serve their communities effectively.

We support tribal courts in upholding the cultural values and traditions of Indigenous communities. Justice should reflect and respect the identity and sovereignty of each tribe.

We connect tribal court personnel across California to share knowledge, experiences, and support. By working together, we strengthen tribal justice systems statewide.
