For generations, American Indians have been stereotyped as being all liberals and Democrats. This is a false stereotype: many American Indians and tribes are staunch Republicans.

ConservativeAIR.com is an organization of American Indians who wish to reclaim our traditional conservatism, and believe the Republican party is the most effective means of implementing political policy based on conservative principles.

All American Indians who are interested in discussing conservative issues as they relate to Indian country are invited to join our Yahoo Group.
