Michigan Tribal Response to Michigan’s Line 5 Deeply Flawed Report
Jeff Davis to Join Private Practice
Jeff Davis, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the tribal liaison for the Western District of Michigan, has decided to leave the United States Attorney’s Office in Grand Rapids for private practice. Here is his letter to tribes announcing his departure:
Jeff has been the tribal liaison for the Western District of Michigan for many years. Long before the Indian Law and Order Commission (of which he was a member), the Michigan Tribal-State-Federal Judicial Forum (of which was also a participant), and VAWA (which he has been instrumental in implementing), Jeff was one of the relatively few AUSAs in the country who took Indian country crime seriously. Well, he was one of the first and often only tribal liaisons west of the Mississippi for many years. He leaves an important legacy for the next tribal liaison in GR.
We wish Jeff luck in his new endeavors. Miigwetch is the right way to say thanks and chi-miigwetch is the way to say many thanks, but neither captures the amount of gratitude Indian country owes Jeff Davis.
