HOOP respects Indigenous tribes, people and communities regarding their rights, culture and sovereignty as Indigenous people in any area where HOOP provides services and offers support.
HOOP envisions viable arts, cultural, environmental and economic development initiatives by and for Indigenous people. HOOP works to provide education through the communications, technology, projects, research & networking necessary to strengthen Indigenous initiatives.

"What is the legal status of American Indian and Alaska Native tribes?
Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution vests Congress, and by extension the Executive and Judicial branches of our government, with the authority to engage in relations with the tribes, thereby firmly placing tribes within the constitutional fabric of our nation. When the governmental authority of tribes was first challenged in the 1830's, U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall articulated the fundamental principle that has guided the evolution of federal Indian law to the present: That tribes possess a nationhood status and retain inherent powers of self-government." - Source, United States, Bureau of Indian Affairs Website
