Anishinabe Legal Services (ALS) is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that was created in 1967, using funds from the federal Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). At that time, ALS was known as the Leech Lake Reservation Legal services Project, and was the first independent Native American legal sevices office in the country. In 1974, Congress created the federal Legal Services Corporation (LSC), and the Leech Lake Services Project began receiveing its annual Native American grant from LSC.
In 1980, the program expanded services to the White Earth and Red Lake Reservations and was renamed Anishinabe Legal Services. Eligible clients must live on or near the Leech Lake, Red Lake or White Earth Reservation, and must be of limited economice means.
