The Western District of North Carolina is home to two federally recognized Tribes: the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Catawba Nation. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is the largest Native American Tribe in the eastern part of the United States. Approximately 10,000 of the Tribe's over 16,000+ enrolled members reside on trust lands that span five of North Carolina's western-most counties. The town of Cherokee lies approximately one hour's drive west of Asheville. The newest parcel of Native American trust land in the eastern part of the United States belongs to the Catawba Nation. Approximately 17 acres of trust lands were established in 2020 near Kings Mountain, North Carolina, a little less than two hour's drive southeast of Asheville. The Tribe's over 3,000+ enrolled members mostly reside in and around Rock Hill, South Carolina. The applicant selected to become an Assistant United States Attorney would be responsible for cultivating relationships with Tribal, federal, state, and local partners as the Office's Tribal Liaison. Duties of the Tribal Liaison include sponsoring relationships and facilitating communication between various individuals and agencies responsible for public safety in Indian country, developing expertise regarding Indian law, providing training and education to law enforcement partners to improve relationships and policing in Indian country, consulting with Tribal governments as they create and refine legal systems and processes, developing and engaging with multi-disciplinary teams on child/sexual abuse and domestic violence, and serving as a point of contact in the District for all matters arising out of Tribal lands. The Tribal Liaison also would be primarily responsible for all federal criminal prosecutions arising from Indian country. These cover a wide variety of federal crimes, including murder, felonious assault, domestic violence, sexual abuse, drugs, firearms, human trafficking, and other crimes. Of particular concern are rising numbers of opioid- and fentanyl-related drug overdoses, violent crime, and cold cases involving missing and murdered indigenous people.
