NAAP is a
statewide,
non-profit, grassroots organization for persons residing on and off the lands of the nine tribal nations in South Dakota. We are chartered both with the state of South Dakota as well as the Rosebud Sioux Tribe (where our central office is NAAlocated).
We are committed to providing support to
the developing role of Native American consumers (persons
with all
types of disabilities) and their family members in system
planning,
decision- making, networking, advocacy, and service
development to
these populations.
We are also committed to being a cross
disability organization, meaning that we are
inclusive of persons with all
types of disabilities. This allows support to those disabilities
that have been under or unrepresented in the disability
movement.
We believe that Native youth have a right to know their culture and have access to people, places, and environments that help them to develop healthy lifestyles, without alcohol, drugs, or violence.
