The North American Indigenous Games is a multi-sport event and cultural celebration
involving Indigenous athletes from across North America staged intermittently since 1990.
The dream to hold a “Games for the Indigenous Peoples” of North America began in the
1970s. The first edition of the Games was held in Edmonton, Alberta in 1990. The NAIG
Council was formed between 1992 and 1993, a 26-member council of representatives from
13 provinces and territories in Canada and 13 regions in the United States. The vision was
to improve the quality of life for Indigenous Peoples by supporting self-determined sports
and cultural activities which encourage equal access to participation in the social / cultural /
spiritual fabric of the community in which they reside and which respects Indigenous
distinctiveness.
The purpose of the Oneida Youth Leadership Institute is to operate and support programs
and activities which promote leadership qualities in Oneida youth, and to solicit charitable
donations to fund such programs and activities.

The committee is directed to study issues relating to American Indians and the American
Indian tribes and bands in this state and develop specific recommendations and legislative
proposals relating to these issues. [s. 13.83 (3), Stats.]
We provide education, awareness, and resources on problem gambling disorders.
The mission of the Council shall be to advocate for the elimination of health disparities and
to give a voice to health issues affecting racial and ethnic minority populations in
Wisconsin.
Established in 2001, the Wisconsin Tribal Conservation Advisory Council (WTCAC) is an
Association that provides a forum for eleven (11) Native American Tribes in Wisconsin to
identify and solve natural resource issues on Tribal lands. We are a Council that gives a
voice to our Tribes of Wisconsin on conservation issues that are important to us at the
state and national levels.
Through a strong partnership with the USDA–NRCS, the Council reviews and
recommends proposals for conservation projects from Tribes of Wisconsin. Tribal
Conservation Advisory Councils were first authorized in the 1995 Farm Bill as advisory
bodies to NRCS and all of USDA on Tribal issues. WTCAC was the first such council
formed in the country.
The Division of Adult Institutions shall ensure incarcerated inmates have opportunities to
pursue lawful practices of the religion of their choice consistent with security practices and
principles; rehabilitative goals; health and safety; allocation of limited resources; and the
responsibilities and needs of the correctional facilities.
