History
ITCA has carried out the goals identified by its member Tribes for over 35 years.
In 1952, the elected leaders of nine Indian Tribes in Arizona formed an association to provide members with a united voice. The purpose of the association was to address the issues that affected the Tribes collectively or individually. This forum enabled tribal governments in Arizona to combine their efforts and resources for common goals.
In 1975, with the realization that ‘these challenges and opportunities require the force of united and concerted voice and action which one tribe alone does not possess,’ the Tribes established the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc.
Today 20 federally recognized Indian Tribes belong to the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. The highest elected officials of each tribe – the chairpersons, presidents or governors are members of ITCA.
