AICH is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving the needs of Native Americans residing in New York City. Our aim is to improve and promote the well-being of the American Indian Community in and around NYC. We ensure the well-being and social survival of urban and reservation-based Native Americans and their families through the provision of health and social services, while increasing the visibility of American Indian cultures in an urban setting, in order to cultivate awareness, understanding and respect.
The organization currently focuses on three main areas: Indigenous Culture & Education, Social Services and Landback. AICH promotes Indigenous cultural sustainability and the advancement of Indigenous knowledge within our community and throughout the city-at-large.We have an Native American artist residency program that runs from May through October. It is open to any Native American Artist. We also have once a month youth programming.
