Red Road Legal is an advocacy and litigation strategy initiative dedicated to Indigenous rights and ethical media representation. We support underrepresented voices in global media and provide direct support for public-facing individuals targeted by misinformation, cultural gatekeeping, or reputational harm.

We are not a law firm and do not provide direct legal services. However, we prepare and file legal complaints, cease-and-desist letters, FOIA requests, and public documentation in coordination with independent legal counsel when appropriate.
