Established in 1968, Inter-Tribal Council of California, Inc. (ITCC) is a statewide association of 47 tribes in California. ITCC is governed by a General Council comprised of tribal representatives designated by resolutions of tribal councils. The General Council elects the members of the Board of Directors who are responsible for over-sight of ITCC.

Over the 45 year history, ITCC has successfully created programs and services impacting health, education, economic, social, cultural, environmental, legal and tribal governance development for tribal people throughout California. Inherent in all the work of ITCC is recognition of tribal governments as sovereign nations, capable of self-governance and economic sustainability supporting healthy individual tribal communities.
