Mission and Objectives of the Coalition

We are a grassroots organization focused on ensuring the educational equality of Indigenous persons by:

1) Assisting those individuals or groups of individuals that feel their voice is not being heard by Educational institutions and Government agencies throughout the United States. With the support of the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) we gather facts and data to create a case that provides complete and accurate information on injustices toward American Indians related to Education and federally guaranteed rights under the United States’ Department of Education’s Office of Indian Education Title VII of the Public Law 107-110 (115 STAT. 1907), also known as the No Child Left Behind Act.

2) Working toward eliminating racial hatred and racial discrimination in institutional policy and practice by informing key American Indian Education personnel (non-indigenous and indigenous alike) in the areas of American Indian Education throughout the United States. These key individuals are experienced leaders who have been successful at reforming American Indian Education and educating non-American Indians of concerns affecting Indigenous communities for many years. It is these key American Indian Education advocates who then take the case(s) of the unheard individuals to key stakeholders within the responsible Education institution or Government agencies.

Principal Objectives of The Coalition:

• To ensure and protect the educational equality of all Indigenous people in the U.S.

• To achieve education equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice and discriminatory practices by Education institutions and Government agencies

• To seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing Educational rights of Indigenous people thru Title VII

• To inform the public of the adverse effects of Educational discrimination and to seek its elimination

• To educate persons as to their federally protected rights and to take all lawful action to secure the exercise thereof

• To take any other lawful action(s) necessary to further these objectives, consistent with federal law
