Social Resources


At the center of tribal communities are the people that bring vitality to our diverse groups. The health and wellbeing of our tribal communities are imperative in progressing towards an era of greater self-determination and prosperity. The social resources portfolio specifically focuses on the areas of policy that provide for our tribal people and empower them to thrive. NCAI’s work in this policy area is extensive and includes significant, sustained efforts to improve education, health care, and social services for all Tribal Nations and their communities.
