A major reason for the formation of these groups was:

The inadequacy of efforts to improve the lives of American Indians.

The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was founded in 1944 and its purpose is to protect tribal governance and treaty rights, to develop economy, health, welfare and to promote a better understanding of the Indians and Alaska native communities.
