The National Congress of American Indians issued a statement condemning Ann Coulter’s July 6 post on X in which she stated, “We didn’t kill enough Indians.” The organization called the comment “a violent attack on Native people and Tribal Nations” and demanded an immediate retraction, public apology and platform ban.
“These words are not provocative social commentary; they are a violent attack,” said NCAI President Mark Macarro. NCAI Executive Director Larry Wright Jr. added that the statement “fuels harassment, hate crimes, and political violence.” The organization called on elected officials, media and X to denounce the comment and take action. NCAI urged the public to uplift Native contributions and voices, noting it will continue to confront rhetoric that threatens Native communities.
