Reply #211: National Congress of American Indians (call for HELP!)

[CountAllVotes]

We need not forget our Native peoples. Many lived in Louisiana/Mississippi, and other areas stricken by Katrina.

Here is a call for the Director of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) for help.

***************************

Dear Friends and Family,

I work as the Director of Development for the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). NCAI the oldest and largest Indian organization in the U.S. and we represent more than half of the country's American Indian tribes.

Immediately after we received word of the disaster left by Hurricane
Katrina, NCAI created a fund to help the Indian tribes in Louisianna,
Mississippi and Alabama who were affected. Let me tell you that American Indian tribes are consistently overlooked and always the last to receive any assistance, if any. On Friday, we talked with a representative from one Indian tribe who said the homes and land of every tribal member in their community was completely demolished, it was very sad.

The money from the NCAI Hurricane Disaster Relief Fund will go directly back to those tribes affected so that they may rebuild their communities. If you or your family is interested please make a donation, the information is
below.

May you always walk in beauty and may the creator bless you.

Sincerely
Mellor C. Willie
Director of Development
