National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) hosts job listings from “American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Alaska Native businesses, governments and organizations on their website. NCAI was established in 1944 in response to the termination and assimilation policies the US government forced upon tribal governments in contradiction of their treaty rights and status as sovereign nations. To this day, protecting these inherent and legal rights remains the primary focus of NCAI.”
NativeHire.org was designed to streamline the job search process for its applicants by working with employers who are actively looking to hire Native Americans. This helps the employers meet their TERO ordinance requirements and helps applicants find work on or near the reservations.
