Biographical History
The National Indian Lutheran Board (NILB) was founded in 1970 through activities of the Lutheran Church and Indian People (LUCHIP) and the Lutheran Council in the USA (LCUSA). Serving as an advocacy program of the LCUSA participating church bodies, the NILB testified on legislation regarding and affecting Native Americans; facilitated opportunities for an awareness of Native American issues on the part of non-Indians; worked with ecumenical organizations to reach a wider Christian audience; and administered funds granted for Indian projects and special requests. Eugene R. Crawford directed both the NILB and the LCUSA's American Indian Services Desk from 1971-1986. In 1987, the LCUSA was succeeded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). At this time, LCUSA and NILB responsibilities were assumed by the ELCA.
