West Texas Native American Association was chartered by the State of Texas in March 1995, and is a non-profit corporation, and is an inter-tribal association. While most Native Americans in the group represent Southern tribes, some belong to Northern tribes as well. We also have non-Native members who attend because they are interested in Native culture and traditions.
