2024 VAWA Reception Video
On February 12, 2024, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC) celebrated 20 years of grassroots organizing to restore Tribal sovereignty and increase Native women’s safety through the Violence Against Women Task Force and the Restoration Magazine.
Founded in 2003, the NCAI VAWA Task Force provides a space for Tribal coalitions, advocates, and Tribal leaders to organize to ensure that ending violence against women is a priority for Tribal Nations across the country. This Task Force has introduced NCAI resolutions and called for groundbreaking changes in federal laws and policies aimed at keeping Native women and communities safe.
Please enjoy this video looking back on the last twenty years of advocacy.

    What a heart-rending and ultimately really inspiring story. Thank you President Sharp for sharing it. When we meet, I might tell you of my childhood friend who becane a transracial adoption counselor in Indian Country - from his own experience - advising on such cases. You have undergone such a lot. What an outstanding leader you really are.

    This recording of the "Strengthening Our Shared Legacy" webinar was truly enlightening! The insights provided by NCAI President Mark Macarro, NCAI Executive Director Larry Wright Jr., and NCAI Foundation President Greg Masten highlighted the transformative potential of the newly launched philanthropic arm. It’s inspiring to see the focus on upholding tribal sovereignty, empowering leadership, and fortifying Tribal Nations. Kudos to Vice President Dawn Knickerbocker for moderating such an engaging panel. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on expanding partnerships with Native-led groups and centering equity and sovereignty. It's clear that supporting the NCAI Foundation’s mission is crucial for the future of tribal communities. More funds should indeed be directed towards helping indigenous people. Thank you for sharing this important discussion! 🌟 #SupportTribalNations #NCAIFoundation #IndigenousEmpowerment

    We should have mental health facilities on all reservations across America it costs more to transport natives off the reservations and I don't think they take the time to really help natives off the reservations so reservations should have the facilities on the reservations.

      This group has been around since 1944 they check out and represent millions of Native American and Alaskan Native people as well as 100s of tribes. Looking at the other Native American Guardian group which started right around the time of the name change in 2020. That is saying they are boycotting for the name to be changed back looks a lot less legit than this one. I don't think we gonna get our names back and I feel bad now.

    While leftists check off boxes like simps, the majority of Indians and Latinos want Redskins. It isnt racist. Anymore than Yankees and NWA. And youve missed the racial irony of replacing an Indian caricature with yet another white caricature- Commanders and Guardians. All we need is more white soldiers, right? What's next? Warmongers and Massas? Thanks for making the NFL a whiter league under the guise of 'combatting racism'. The Honorable El Hajj Malik el Shabazz spoke of you when he said white liberals are the greatest deceiver of blk people and use them in a white power end game. You libs are always fall on the side of the white liberal gain on this everytime. And another brown icon is erased. Look in the mirror and youll see a klansman!
