About
Native Americans for Sovereignty and Preservation
Our mission is to promote traditional values and principles within the Native American community. We believe in the importance of individual sovereignty, limited government, and personal responsibility. We aim to empower our People by promoting self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and education to improve our communities’ economic and social conditions. We recognize the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and traditions while embracing the opportunities and challenges of the modern world. Through advocacy and activism, we seek to promote policies that enhance the sovereignty and self-determination of Native American tribes and tribal citizens – rural and urban.
