TNNAC
Tennessee Native American Convention
 

TNNAC is a (public benefit) non profit  corporation registered with the State of Tennessee.  It was formed in Hamilton Co., on 27 August 2002.

The following excerpt is from Attorney General’s Opinion, No. 04-138:

 “The enabling statutes for the Tennessee Commission of Indian Affairs do not
 establish any legal relationship between the Commission and ACTIA
or TNNAC. Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-34-101 et seq. ACTIA is not mentioned in any part of the statutes.”

TNNAC's Purpose: To democratically elect representatives from the Native American community to represent
Native American interests in and to the State of Tennessee.
