- Description:
- The National Tribal Chairmen's Association is an organization of elected or appointed chairmen of Indian reservations and federally recognized tribes, established to serve as the official voice of Indian leaders. The organization aims to provide meaningful consultation, direct federal programs and funds, approve Indian policies, demand fair treatment for Indians, and protect treaty rights and relationships among Indian reservations. The association condemns the illegal entry and occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in Washington, D.C., and calls for the rebuilding of the building and the dismissal of officials responsible for its security failure. They also reject support for dissident groups claiming to represent reservation people and call for their prosecution.
