ABOUT US

Supporting Tribal Communities in Protecting Our Languages, Cultures, and Lands.

We must look to our own people, communities, and history for solutions. We must trust our own thinking again.  – Chief Wilma P. Mankiller, MICA Founder

About Us

Multi-Indigenous Community Action (MICA) Group partners with Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities to achieve community goals.

With tribal sovereignty and self-determination always at the center of our work, MICA draws on a deep pool of world-class experts, both Indigenous and others, to bring new frameworks and resources to Indian Country, including partnerships, funding opportunities, ideas, and hands-on technical assistance. Since our founding in 2006, MICA has secured $64 million for Native projects and programs.

Above all, we bring an unfailing belief in the resilience of Indigenous peoples and respect for their wisdom to know best how to nurture their communities.
