American Indian Community House
About American Indian Community House
Founded in 1969 by passionate Native American volunteers, the American Indian Community House (AICH) has grown into a cornerstone organization serving Native Americans throughout New York, NY. What began as a grassroots movement to improve the status of Native Americans has evolved into a comprehensive community resource that honors the diverse voices and experiences of American Indian peoples in an urban landscape.
AICH's membership reflects the rich diversity of Native America, comprising enrolled members from 72 different tribes who bring their unique cultural perspectives and traditions to the organization. The organization recognizes the profound interconnection between Native Americans living in cities like New York and those maintaining ties to reservations, understanding that shared issues and concerns bind the broader Native American community together. This holistic perspective shapes everything AICH does, from cultural programming to community advocacy.
As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, AICH operates with a deep commitment to authenticity and community-driven leadership. The organization's mission goes beyond service delivery—it seeks to cultivate genuine awareness, understanding, and respect for American Indian cultures within New York, NY and beyond. By maintaining strong connections to tribal traditions while addressing contemporary urban realities, AICH creates a space where Native Americans can celebrate their heritage, connect with one another, and collectively advocate for their community's well-being.
