Established in 2004, the National Native American Veterans Association (NNAVA) was formed to provide the Native American Veteran representation and assistance in dealing with the Department of Veteran Affairs. As an organization NNAVA feels that every Veteran deserves representation which addresses the unique and special needs of that Veteran. This is especially important for the Native American Veteran as the Culture and Heritage of the Native American People is vastly different from that of the rest of the American Population. The differences in our Culture and Heritage form the basis of the need for a Native orientated Veteran�s Organization.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the National Native American Veterans Association is to educate and assist Native American Veterans without regard to Tribal Affiliation, degree of Indian Blood, branch of the Armed Forces, or Combat Status with regard to Veteran Rights, Entitlements, and Benefits. The National Native American Veterans Association will strive to assist the families of Native American Veterans. Assistance will be given in obtaining Veteran Rights, Entitlements, and Benefits without regard to Tribal Affiliation, branch of the Armed Forces; degree of Indian Blood, or Combat Status of the Veteran. The National Native American Veterans Association will assist Tribal Entities in the development of Veteran Groups within each Tribe if desired, and provide a resource center for the Tribal Entities for information on Veteran Rights, Entitlements, and Benefits which can be used to augment current Tribal Programs.
