It is simple, but it is not easy. It will take time and dedication, working together for the good of the People.

We are organized under the Lodge System, we are regarded as One United Association of People: a Nation.

Our National Council serves to offer guidance and support for our State Councils and to move our Mission forward through the development of programs and services with the specific goals and interests of our People in mind. We are the coordinating branch of our self-government, assisting, encouraging, problem-solving, and offering help to our State Councils; and to assure compliance with the federal guidelines required of us as an organization.

Our State Councils serve to coordinate efforts in their State, offering  guidance and support for their Bands, assisting, encouraging, and help assure that every Band in their State comply with the federal guidelines required of us as an organization.

As we grow and expand, our Bands will be the community-based People who come together to learn, educate, share skills and knowledge, give charitable support, and participate in programs.

Considering the increasing price of fuel and travel expenses and the great distances that separate us, we can still keep up with our Nation through our Member's Only area of our website, learn and explore when there is time and interest. It's here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our money is spent on: Membership services, Newsletters, our National Website, funding programs and services for the benefit of our Members, maintaining our National Office, and postage. It is by establishing proof of being able to administer small amounts of funding that we position ourselves to receive larger amounts to further our Mission and goals.

If our Organization sounds like something that you would be interested in, please consider becoming a Member. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
