Cedar Tree Native Law was proud to be on the ground at the OLA Conference, connecting with industry leaders and continuing important conversations around the future of tribal lending.

As a firm dedicated exclusively to representing tribal interests, we remain at the forefront of tribal lending—supporting innovation, strengthening sovereignty, and helping shape the evolving legal and regulatory landscape.

Cedar Tree Of Counsel, Sunshine Gottfriedson, was in attendance serving as a panel moderator and speaking during a moment of remembrance honoring the legacy and lasting impact of our founding partner, Michelle Fox. Michelle's vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to advancing tribal sovereignty continue to guide our work every day.

Cedar Tree Native Law would like to recognize the National Day of Awareness for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Relatives. Native women, girls, trans and two-spirit relatives continue to be disproportionally at risk of falling victim to violence and abduction.

According to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center the murder rate of indigenous women is 10 times the US national average and in 2024 there were 10,248 missing indigenous persons reports filed with the FBI. Of those reports 95% have not been covered by the mainstream media, according to the Urban Indian Health Institute.

The continued crisis of violence against indigenous women, girls, trans and two-spirit relatives can no longer remain unaddressed. There is no justice in ignorance nor in a failing system meant to protect.

Join us today as we call for justice, visibility and safety for all our relatives across turtle island and as we pray for those who have yet to make it home.

Additionally, please join us by dressing in red as a symbol of solidarity with our relatives.

It is with great sadness that Cedar Tree Native Law shares the news of the tragic passing of founding shareholder—and beloved colleague and friend—Michelle Fox. We extend our condolences to her family and everyone else touched by this profound loss, which will be felt far across Indian country.

Michelle was a bright star, a visionary, a fierce advocate for clients and loved ones alike, and a true leader who cultivated and trusted in Indigenous women’s leadership and believed deeply in the team she built up alongside her. She did things differently and took true care of her team and her clients. We stand committed to realizing Michelle’s vision. We will honor her legacy by continuing the work she so fearlessly pursued to provide excellent legal services in Indian country.

We will share details on services for Michelle once they are available.
