<\/P>\r\nThe nation’s oldest and largest inter-tribal advocacy organization has “parted ways” with its highest-ranking employee<\/a>, who had been on the job for barely a year.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nIn a statement released late on Friday evening, the National Congress of American Indians<\/a> disclosed the departure of Dante Desiderio as the organization’s Chief Executive Officer. No explanation was given for the decision.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cFor almost 80 years, it has been our utmost interest and priority to serve as a leading voice for tribal sovereignty interests and initiatives. To continue to better serve our diverse sovereign Tribal Nations, we have parted ways with Mr. Desiderio,” NCAI said in the statement<\/a>, which did not use the full name of the now-former employee.\r\n
