Native American communities have been profoundly impacted by environmental damage, as their lands and resources have shouldered the heavy burden of climate change and industrial pollution. Fossil fuel companies have long prioritized profits over transparency, hiding their knowledge of the destructive impacts of their operations on natural resources. This negligence has led to severe consequences for Native lands, including increased flooding, loss of land from rising sea levels, wildfires, drought, and soil erosion. These forces threaten not only the physical landscape but also the cultural heritage and traditional practices that are interwoven with the environment.

Singleton Schreiber’s team is uniquely positioned to address these harms, combining legal expertise with in-house environmental scientists. Beyond the immediate impacts of climate change, Native communities have suffered from utility-caused fires, contamination from heavy metals, mining waste, and PFAS chemicals that persist in soil and water. Our team has successfully secured claims for property loss, erosion, infrastructure damages, and health monitoring on behalf of clients in environmental cases, targeting some of the largest corporations and government bodies responsible for these environmental hazards. Singleton Schreiber stands ready to ensure that Native communities receive the same justice and restitution they deserve for the extensive harm to their health, homes, and heritage.

Standing Firm for Justice, Healing, and Honor

What sets Singleton Schreiber’s Tribal Litigation practice apart is not only our legal expertise but also our deep-rooted connection to the Native experience. As a member of the community I represent, I am not just an advocate—I share the heritage, history, and struggles of those seeking justice. When Native clients turn to us, they can trust they are working with a team that truly understands their journey and is deeply committed to standing alongside them.

As the national conversation on Native rights expands, we remain steadfast in our mission: to hold accountable the industries and systems that have inflicted environmental and social harm on Native communities, to empower survivors, and to restore the natural resources that sustain their way of life. From addressing pollution and land exploitation to advocating for clean water and air, our work centers on justice and environmental restoration for future generations.

For all who have suffered and continue to endure these injustices, we stand with you in the fight for justice, healing, and the renewal of your lands and communities.
