- The world's largest Native American Indian news source, shipped internationally.
- National Congress of American Indians
- The NCAI was founded in 1944 in response to termination and assimilation policies that the United States forced upon the tribal governments in contradiction of their treaty rights and status as sovereigns. NCAI stressed the need for unity and cooperation among tribal governments for the protection of their treaty and sovereign rights. Since 1944, the National Congress of American Indians has been working to inform the public and Congress on the governmental rights of American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Over a half a century later, our goals remain unchanged. NCAI has grown over the years from its modest beginnings of 100 people to include 250 member tribes from throughout the United States. Now serving as the major national tribal government organization, NCAI is positioned to monitor federal policy and coordinated efforts to inform federal decisions that affect tribal government interests.
Now as in the past, NCAI serves to secure for ourselves and our descendants the rights and benefits to which we are entitled; to enlighten the public toward the better understanding of the Indian people; to preserve rights under Indian treaties or agreements with the United States; and to promote the common welfare of the American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Current Issues and activities of the NCAI include:
* Protection of programs and services to benefit Indian families, specifically targeting Indian Youth and elders
* Promotion and support of Indian education, including Head Start, elementary, post-secondary and Adult Education
* Enhancement of Indian health care, including prevention of juvenile substance abuse, HIV-AIDS prevention and other major diseases
* Support of environmental protection and natural resources management
* Protection of Indian cultural resources and religious freedom rights
* Promotion of the Rights of Indian economic opportunity both on and off reservations, including securing programs to provide incentives for economic development and the attraction of private capital to Indian Country
* Protection of the Rights of all Indian people to decent, safe and affordable housing - cherokee
- The Cherokee Nation is the second largest Indian tribe in the United States. There are more than 200,000 tribal members. Almost 70,000 of these Cherokees reside in the 7,000 square mile area of the Cherokee Nation which is not a reservation, but a jurisdictional service area that includes all of eight counties and portions of six in northeastern Oklahoma.
Today, the Cherokee Nation is a leader in education, housing, vocational training, business and economic development.
As a federally-recognized Indian tribe, the Cherokee Nation has both the opportunity and the sovereign right to exercise control and development over tribal assets, which includes 66,000 acres of land, as well as 96 miles of the Arkansas Riverbed. - Nanticoke Indians Of Delaware

The Truth About the Freedmen Issue
Like all other Indian tribes in the United States, the Cherokee have the right to grant citizenship to individuals with at least one Indian ancestor. The Freedmen controversy has generated a great deal of misinformation.
Some members of Congress are using these falsehoods to justify legislation that would terminate the Cherokee Nation. Threats of termination by Congress set a dangerous precedent.
Please, consider the facts, understand the controversy, and let the courts decide.

Where are you from?
Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii
what brought you to this website?
the ditty you had on Maori
Comments:
This is a wonderful sight and very informative on the native American information. Your info on the Maori was good but my big question is there is no reference to either the Hawaiians, Tahitians or Marquesans when you mention Easter Polynesians. I'm sure that the Maori folk you got the information have some relation to Paikea the one who rode the whale from Hawaiki ( Hawai'i if you are Hawaiian ). I am native Hawaiian and it pains me see the politically my Native American counter parts would rather welcome a Polynesian group from far abroad than the ignored one right at the American doorstep. Our histories are not so different in dealing with the US government but then I guess were too invisible huh. I guess I might have just wasted our time. Aloha.
