The Native American Fair Commerce Coalition

The Native American Fair Commerce Coalition (NAFCC) is a representative organization comprised of members from numerous Indian tribes committed to protecting the sovereign rights – well settled in US law – of Native Americans to pursue business and economic opportunities for Native Americans nationwide. The NAFCC is committed to improving economic conditions and protecting the treasuries for our tribes. We are also committed to protecting our historic and cross-generational hard-fought gains toward maintaining and protecting tribal identity and culture.

The NAFCC acknowledges the many contributions made by US companies to engage with Native American tribes resulting in the establishment of numerous business and employment opportunities for our tribal members. At the same time, the NAFCC will challenge any action or attempt to prevent Native American tribes from lawfully exercising the rights of Native Americans to generate income.

Citizens of our country and the United States Government have long recognized the fact that Native American tribes are free to engage in commerce unhindered by bias or discrimination. We believe that those seeking to deny Native Americans of their business development and entrepreneurial rights are on the wrong side of this issue, and on the wrong side of history.

The NAFCC is therefore committed to the protection of Native American Sovereign immunity and view any campaign to single out Native American-owned businesses that operate under the laws of the United States to be nothing short of discriminatory.

We remain hopeful that the government, regulators and the electorate will join with us to help safeguard the solemn right of Native American people to protect our culture and livelihood and join with us to pursue any actions that will impede Native Americans from protecting our rights to the fullest extent of the law.
