It is not clear to me that this organization meets the notability criteria. Prod removed by creator without the addition of independent sources. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I am working on this page as a project for my class Cultures of Dissent: The American Indian Experience. I have been trying to find sources other than the Inter-Tribal Environmental Council's home page, but I have not found many. Sovereignty2013 (talk) 23:20, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Keep - I'm surprised that this article was nominated for deletion. The ITEC has 41 member tribes in three states and has been an important force in environmental clean-up (air, water, old mining sites, etc.) in Indian Country in the SW. There's newspaper and some books references available as sources.-Uyvsdi (talk) 01:49, 25 September 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi  Please add new comments below this notice.

Keep - As a Tribal Environmental Professional in Minnesota, I can personally say that even here in Minnesota, we work closely with ITEC, as their expertise is accessed not only in Oklahoma, but also in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Together with National Tribal Environmental Council (NTEC)/National Tribal Air Association (NTAA)(Albaquerque, NM), Northern Arizona Universyty (NAU)/Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP)(Flagstaff, AZ), US EPA/Tribal Air Monitoring (TAMS) Center (Las Vegas, NV), environmental programs of Inter-tribal Council of Michigan (ITCM)(Sault Ste. Marie, MI) and the Tribal Air Quality Program (TAQP) of the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA)(Phoenix, AZ), ITEC provides core environmental protection support across all of Indian Country in the United States.

Keep - Looking at the news and book mentions linked above, this topic meets the criteria for inclusion. The article itself needs to have more of these sources incorporated as footnotes, but it looks like work is being done to fix that. -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 17:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
