The NCIE seeks to:
- maintain contact with Indian educators throughout the United States;

- support Indian education program efforts on behalf of each particular school, community, and tribe; and
- take any action deemed necessary to enhance the progress and development of Indian education programs.
It is also the parent organization for the Native AMerican Scholarship Fund (NASF), which was chartered in 1986 to provide higher education to American Indians in fields that are critical for the political, economic, social, and business development of Indian Tribes, and is committed to positive change NASF has created two programs, MESBEC and NALE.
