The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of America (FANA) was founded by FANA Superior Chief Po Wauipi Neimpaug, Sagamore of the Pokanoket Nation, and FANA National Director Neesu Wushuwunoag, Pomham Sachem of the Mashapaug Nahaganset Tribe, and through development concert with Principal Chief Yonaguska of the Sand Hill Lenape Nation. FANA began as a confederation of aboriginal Tribes and Nations fro
m the New England territories that were seeking to address ongoing violations of their inherent aboriginal rights and privileges by foreign entities while on their own sovereign and ancestral lands. As the confederation grew in strength and numbers and began to make alliances with other Tribes and Nations outside of the New England territories, the Confederation recognized the need to take their efforts to a more grand scale, by extending their scope to include issues faced by aboriginal Tribes and Nations throughout the Americas. FANA assists the efforts of its member Tribes and Nations in bringing to light more than 600 years of international and national archived history to reveal hidden truths about the true diverse cultures and heritage of Americaβs aboriginal populations. With the historical knowledge of laws and treaties, FANA provides private confidential support and assistance for member Tribes and Nations, which include, but are not limited to, sharing of information, classes, and instruction of law and indigenous judicial processes where members gain greater insight pertaining to their privileges, immunities and rights under International and American Indian Law. FANA also assists member Tribes and Nations in researching and filing claims for rights violations, land rights, rights to monies owed from treaties, corporate identity theft, housing fraud and international human rights violations, which also include violations against women and children, genocide of the American Negro and many other aboriginal related issues.
