Description: "GIC’s founding comes from a recognition that, in the current political climate, it is imperative that an indigenous advocacy organization exists that is free from federal political influence, and will instead hold federal government cabinet secretaries, agency secretaries, members of congress and corresponding parliamentary members accountable for their actions and policies - not honor them simply for attending tribal conferences ... In conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council and the Great Plains Tribal Chairmans Association, GIC is implementing Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (#MMIW) initiatives to counter the endemic devastation being wrought on our communities by murders and assaults on Native women, children, and two-spirit people. We are currently engaged with lawmakers in the US Congress and Senate to deliver bi-partisan legislation to fight this onslaught against our lifegivers, youth and children."
