Democracy is Indigenous Five Year Impact Report

In 2023, the National Urban Indian Family Coalition (NUIFC) celebrated five years of its groundbreaking "Democracy is Indigenous" initiative, a civic engagement program that has empowered urban Native communities across the United States. This ambitious endeavor has been instrumental in building the political power of American Indians and Alaska Natives residing in cities, who represent over 70% of the total Native population in the country. By investing nearly $7.6 million into 30 urban Native nonprofits across 19 states, NUIFC has transformed these communities into influential forces in the political landscape, ensuring that their voices are heard and their needs addressed in local, state, and national elections.
