The Coalition Group

This website is jointly shared and contributed to by the coalition in the spirit of partnership and unity. The site is intended to serve as a centralized home for various resources related to the Trump Administration’s early actions. It includes, but is not limited to, Administrative Executive Orders and Memos, Congressional letters, news stories, surveys to gather data on real time impacts, and products of the coalition (talking points, framing papers, joint org letters, and templates).

Our strategy will absolutely include offering education on the principles and foundation of our unique and sacred Nation-to-Nation relationship, utilization and deepening of existing Congressional and Administrative relationships and seeking to build new, but of equal if not greater importance, recognition of the uniqueness of this moment in history and the uncharted waters in which we find ourselves, requiring a strategy component that adequately factors in this reality.

To be clear, while this site reflects the efforts of the organizations who are part of the coalition, we recognize that our efforts are a part of a necessarily broader effort, including the many other sectors who will play a critical role in the ultimate success of protecting Indian Country’s interests. This moment requires that everyone do their part, that we coordinate to the greatest extent possible, and that we commit to unity in pursuit of the protection and defense of all that makes our relationship sacred and unique with the United States. Now is not the time for business as usual.
