NAIF WV Strategic Plan

NAIF WV is short for Native American Indian Federation WV, Inc.

David Cremeans, President
4404 Riverside Drive
Huntington, WV 25705
Ph. 681-204-3721

NAIF-WV is the subject of some misinformation attempting to trample on this charity.  Let's talk about people calling it a fake tribe.   A. They do not claim to be a state recognized tribe; but, are the non profit arm of their group with tribal support for their bills which would take WV from non recognition of natives to a bill that supports recognition in much the same way that is done in the state of Va.  To do their work, they are transparent and turn in their taxes publically, annually.  Look up their status in the SOS office of WV.  

David Cremeans does not claim Cherokee lineage; but, he is bilingual in the language and shares with the  youth in concert with local educators of any and all knowledge. David Cremeans prefers the term, President and Elder because that is what he has stated for his role and work. 

The NAIF does not ask for funds.  Every donation is monitored for acceptance toward the stated mission of the group and if the donation is not accepted, it is sent back if not in line with said mission.  The President answers to the Board and the By Laws of their non-profit.
