The Inter Tribal Council (ITC) is a Brazilian indigenous peoples NGO founded in 1991.

They participated in the drafting of UN initiatives on indigenous peoples inclusion in the information society. [citation needed] They also organized the Jogos dos Povos Indígenas, or Indigenous Peoples' Games, in Brazil, the parallel Indigenous Social Forum,[1] and the first World Indigenous Games, to be held in Brazil in 2015.[2] They participated in the Convention on Biological Diversity COP 8 Conference in Curitiba, Brazil,[3] and in 2006 they participated in the I Regional Conference of the Americas against Racism and Racial Discrimination and against All Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance in Brasilia.[citation needed]
