Tribal Nations
Opioids Litigation
In 2018, we sued the nation’s largest opioid manufacturers and distributors on behalf of over 30 Tribal nations, including the Cherokee and Muscogee (Creek) Nations, seeking accountability for the devastating impact of opioids on Native communities—loss of life, soaring healthcare costs, and harm fueled by negligent profit-driven marketing practices. Through the National Opioids Litigation, we secured the first-ever nationwide settlement for Tribes. We continue this fight, representing the Cherokee Nation in a lawsuit against opioid distributor Morris & Dickson Co. for flooding the market with prescription opioids while failing to prevent diversion and halt suspicious orders.
