Who We Are

Formed in 2002, SAIGE is the first national non-profit organization representing American Indian and Alaska Native Federal, Tribal, State, and local government employees.

SAIGE hosts an outstanding Annual National Training Program, open to all, focused on professional development, leadership and topics related to the complex Federal Indian Trust Responsibility. Integral to this, SAIGE provides specialized training sessions for Veterans and Youth.

Our Mission consists of four pillars:

–  To promote the recruitment, retention, development, and advancement of American Indian and Alaska Native  government employees, and work to ensure their equal treatment under the law;

–  To educate Federal agencies in the history and obligations of the Federal Indian Trust responsibility and to assist them in it’s implementation;

–  To assist government agencies in the development and delivery of initiatives and programs that honor the unique Federal-Tribal relationship;

–  And to provide a national forum for issues and topics affecting American Indian and Alaska Native government employees.
