The American Indian Community Council

About The American Indian Community Council

Since 1998, the American Indian Community Council has been a trusted presence in the Los Angeles Native American community, dedicated to empowering the region's diverse tribal populations through leadership and self-determination. Founded on the principle of creating meaningful connections around shared cultural heritage, AICC recognizes that Los Angeles County is home to the largest concentration of American Indians in the United States. The organization's mission centers on supporting and uplifting Native American families, with particular commitment to vulnerable populations including children in foster care through their Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) initiatives. Led by a leadership team with deep roots in Indian Country and extensive experience in tribal affairs, education, law, and community organizing, AICC brings authentic representation and cultural understanding to its work. The organization collaborates with long-established partners like Seven Generations of United American Indian Involvement, which has served the Los Angeles Native community for over four decades, creating a network of support grounded in genuine relationships and shared values. Beyond direct services, AICC fosters community belonging through cultural celebrations, wellness initiatives, and advocacy efforts that address systemic inequities affecting Native Americans. The organization's volunteer-driven approach and grassroots programming reflect a deep commitment to self-determination and community-led solutions, making AICC more than a service provider but a genuine partner invested in the long-term wellbeing and cultural vitality of the Native American community throughout Los Angeles.
