Established in 2012, the First Peoples’ Conservation Council (FPCC) of Louisiana is an Association that was formed to provide a forum for State and non-federally Recognized Native American Tribes in Coastal Louisiana to identify and solve natural resource issues on their Tribal lands.  We are a Council that gives a voice to Louisiana’s First Peoples on conservation issues that are important to us at the state and national levels. Through a strong partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), the FPCC reviews and recommends proposals for conservation projects for Louisiana Tribal Members.

Current FPCC member Tribes include: Atakapa-Ishak/Chawasha, Avoyel-Taensa Tribe, Bayou Lafourche Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha, Grand Caillou/Dulac Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw, Jean Charles Choctaw Nation, and the Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe.
