Native American advocacy refers to efforts aimed at promoting the rights, culture, and well-being of Indigenous peoples in the United States. This includes addressing issues such as land rights, sovereignty, and access to healthcare and education. Organizations and individuals work to raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by Native American communities and to influence policy decisions that affect their lives. Advocacy can take many forms, including legal action, public campaigns, and community organizing. Groups like the National Congress of American Indians and the American Indian Movement play significant roles in these efforts, striving to ensure that the voices of Native Americans are heard and respected in governmental and societal discussions.
