Division/ Department Overview:

The Commission of Indian Affairs is an advocacy agency housed within the NC Department of Administration. The Commission works to implement or sustain programs that provide aid and protection for American Indians, assist American Indian communities in social and economic development, and promote unity among all American Indians. In carrying out its mandate (N.C. G.S. 143B-406) and objectives, the NC Commission of Indian Affairs (NCCIA) operates a range of programs tailored to the needs of the American Indian communities in North Carolina. One of these initiatives is the Adult Tobacco Survey Program, which collects data on tobacco use, including traditional and cultural tobacco practices, vaping habits, and other tobacco-related behaviors. This comprehensive survey will gather insights from all American Indian communities across North Carolina, providing a valuable data set for American Indian health initiatives. The collected data will be used in collaboration with Wake Forest Medical Center and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to advance cancer research, address youth tobacco and vaping use, and develop tailored public health programs. The program's results are intended to support evidence-based approaches for improving health outcomes specific to American Indian communities in the state.
