The NALC works with tribes to identify endangered Native American sites with the goal of protecting these sites through 
a land acquisition program. The NALC secures funding to acquire these sacred sites and provides financial assistance 
to qualified Native American nonprofit organizations with the same goals.

The NALC works with tribes, conservation groups, and state agencies to develop cooperative agreements that will ensure the long-term protection and preservation of Native American traditional cultural properties.

The NALC provides assistance to tribes and intertribal groups that are interested in protective management and Native-controlled land conservancies.

The NALC publishes books, articles, and documentaries that focus on the cultural, biological, and historical value and importance of sacred sites and areas.

The NALC coordinates conferences that bring together different groups and organizations. At these events, we create new strategies to more effectively identify, acquire and protectively manage Native American sacred lands.
