The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is a prominent organization representing Native American tribes in the United States. Founded in 1944, it advocates for tribal sovereignty, rights, and cultural preservation. The NCAI works to improve the quality of life for Native Americans through policy advocacy, education, and collaboration with federal, state, and local governments. It addresses various issues, including healthcare, education, and economic development, aiming to empower tribes and promote their interests on national and legislative platforms. The NCAI plays a crucial role in ensuring that Native voices are heard in American political discussions.
