Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs

Inter Tribal Council of Arizon Inc. (I.T.C.A.)

The members of ITCA are the highest elected tribal officials:
tribal chairpersons, presidents and governors. These
representatives are in the best position to have a
comprehensive view of the conditions and needs of the
Indian communities they represent. As a group, the tribal
leaders represent governments that have a shared historical
experience. Consequently, the tribes have a common governmental
status as well as similar relationships with federal and
state governments. The work of ITCA staff and consultants
is carried out under the direction and supervision of
John R. Lewis, Executive Director and Alberta C. Tippeconnic,
Assistant Director.
