National Relief Charities (NRC) – helping Native American people improve the quality of life.

In Honor of the 32nd Annual Gathering of Nations, (April 25 – 27) I’d be amiss if I didn’t include something about the various Native American nations that started a way of life for me in fighting for indigenous people, not just here in the United States, but around the world.

Over 500 treaties were made with the various Native American nations, and the federal government has broken them all, denying the the resources and land that was taken away from them and forcing them to live on reservations, being abused, and murdered.  The government can (and has) taken away everything they can, but they will never break the spirit of these beautiful people.

Will you join me in working together to improve their quality of life?  Please take the time to read the link below:
