North American Manipur Tribal Association

The North American Manipur Tribal Association (NAMTA) is a non-profit set up to:

Perpetuate, preserve, and maintain the heritage of the peoples of the hill-tribes of Manipur who have been marginalized and persecuted in their own ancestral lands.

Assist and aid North American immigrants, students, and visitors from the hill-tribes of Manipur to settle and assimilate with the mainstream in America.

Advocate for the promotion and protection of civil, property, and political rights of the peoples of the hill tribes of Manipur.
Solicit, raise and disburse funds for humanitarian, cultural, educational, and economic developmental causes and activities directly or in cooperation with other not-for-profit organizations in North America, India or across the world to meet the aforementioned purposes.

We are proud American citizens, residents, taxpayers, and students, all of whom originate from the hill tribes of Manipur, an area that has a rich history which can been traced back to 100 AD, and through oral traditions, genealogies that are traced back over 47 generations.
