Legal Question in Native American Law in Alaska
access to court records
Does the foia cover court records in native courts?
I was denied access to court records. Is this against the foia? (freedom of information act)

The Freedom of Information Act applies only to federal agencies. Unless your tribe has a similar law, you may not be able to get them. FOIA is not applicable.
