About National Urban Indian Family Coalition

Created in 2003, the National Urban Indian Family Coalition (NUIFC) advocates for American Indian families living in urban areas by partnering with American Indian organizations and researching to understand and raise awareness of the barriers, issues, and opportunities facing urban American Indian families.

The NUIFC was created following a forum hosted by United Indians of All Tribes Foundation discussing the issues facing urban Indian families nationwide with funding from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Since then, the NUIFC has created a network of more than 40 urban Indian non-profit organizations across 22 states. This network has become a leading force in advocating for the needs of urban Indians. The NUIFC is dedicated to remaining an access point to exchange ideas and dialogue regarding urban Indian America.

The NUIFC elevates a national voice for American Indians and Alaska Natives living in urban communities and sustains Indigenous values and culture through a strong network of urban Indian organizations.
