Promoting and protecting the identity of American Indians in the Triangle Area.
Promoting and protecting our identity.
Triangle Native American Society (TNAS) was founded in 1984 to provide assistance and support for Native Americans in the Triangle and surrounding area, and was incorporated as a non-profit tax-exempt organization in 1985.
Since its inception, TNAS has endeavored to promote and protect the Native American identity in the Triangle area by increasing the public’s awareness of the cultural and economic contributions made by Native Americans and enhancing the public recognition of the needs of Native Americans.
Our organization is the official governing body for the Native American population in the Triangle area, as recognized by the state of North Carolina and the NC Commission of Indian Affairs.
