Before joining ABWW, Naomi clerked for two Tribal courts, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Tribal Court and the Hopi Supreme Court, and the Arizona Court of Appeals. Naomi also worked in Washington, D.C., on a broad range of Native American issues for the American Indian Higher Education Consortium; the Native American Rights Fund on the Tribal Supreme Court Project where she engaged in intensive legislative analysis regarding Carcieri v. Kempthorne; and in private practice. Recently, Naomi litigated exclusively Indian Child Welfare Act cases as a Faculty Associate for the Indian Legal Clinic at the ASU Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.

As a fellow at ABWW, Ms. Bebo will participate directly in serving tribal clients, gaining exposure to Indian law by working areas such as native land rights, protection of tribal environmental and cultural resources, health, Indian child dependency, employment and tribal law.
