In preparation for the incoming Presidential Administration, the National Congress of American Indians is developing a Presidential Transition document to be shared with future federal officials. This document seeks to provide detailed policy guidance on issues impacting Indian Country. NCAI would like NAIHC to review the draft transition plan linked below.

This effort was discussed during NAIHC's July legislative committee conference call held 07/07/2016. and will be discussed again during the next  monthly conference call scheduled for August 11, 2016.
