Note:
AICH was founded in 1969, by Native American volunteers as a community-based organization, mandated to improve the status of Native Americans, and to foster inter-cultural understanding. Since its inception, AICH has grown into a multi-faceted social support agency and cultural center with a staff of 35 that serves the estimated 27,000 Native Americans in New York City.
AICH membership is currently composed of Native Americans from 72 different tribes. Native American migration between urban centers and reservations demonstrates the inter-relatedness of Native Americans, and the recognition that issues and concerns are shared.
AICH provides programs in job training and placement, health services referral, HIV referral and case management services, and counseling programs for alcoholism and substance use.
AICH also sponsors programs in cultural enrichment through a performing arts program and the first permanent Native American gallery/museum in New York City.
