NCAI (National Congress of American Indians)

The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is a prominent organization that advocates for the rights and interests of Native American and Alaska Native tribes. Founded in 1944, it works to promote sovereignty, cultural preservation, and equitable policy solutions at the federal, state, and local levels. NCAI provides a unified voice for tribes, helping to address issues such as treaty rights, health, education, and economic development. Its goal is to ensure that Native communities have a say in decisions affecting their nations and to protect their sovereignty and cultural heritage.
