![["The document discusses the need for Native American input in legislation and regulations that affect their lives, as they are currently the most deprived and powerless group in the United States. It highlights the historical influences on Indian policy, such as economic interests, organized religion, and government agencies. The document introduces Native American Action, a lobbying organization formed to provide expert witnesses on Indian legislation, research upcoming legislation, and serve as a political voice for Indian organizations. The organization aims to have a full-time lobbyist-director to directly contact legislators and advocate for Native American interests."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_026_3_282_4_0007.jpg "Native American Action: A Call for Indigenous Influence in Policy, Legislation, and Social Justice")
