To defend against the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians filing suit in federal court to establish most of Emmet County, Michigan and part of Charlevoix County, Michigan as an Odawa Indian Reservation and to protect its members and other similarly situated in the community against becoming subject to new regulatory/adjudicatory regimes either by the federal government or the Tribe, including but not limited to liquor licensing, environmental permitting, law enforcement protocols, etc.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund THE PROTECTION OF RIGHTS ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 99% · 2019 94% · 2020 99% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
