ASSOCIATION (NIGA)
Incorporated in 1985, National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) is
an inter-tribal association of federally recognized Indian Tribes united
with the mission of protecting and preserving tribal sovereignty
and the ability of Tribes to attain economic self-sufficiency through
gaming and other forms of economic development. The common
commitment and purpose of NIGA is to advance the lives of Indian
peoples economically, socially, and politically. NIGA operates as an
educational, legislative, and public policy resource for tribal policy
makers as well as the public, on issues related to Indian gaming and
tribal community development.
Located on Capitol Hill, NIGA is a leading voice for Indian Country,
working diligently to ensure that the special status of tribes is
recognized and protected when issues affecting tribal sovereignty
arise. NIGA advocates on behalf of Indian tribes with Congress,
the White House and federal agencies. In order to accomplish its
mission, NIGA often works with Congress and the administration on
all Indian Issues under the Commerce Clause.
NIGA completed an expansion of the original building in 2015. The
Stanley R. Crooks Tribal Leader Conference Center and a multi-story
connection between the historic main house and revolutionary era
carriage house structures, transformed NIGA’s headquarters from
primarily office space to a prime conference-meeting center for
legislative activities on Capitol Hill.
