In Solidarity this #GivingTuesday with the North American Indigenous Center of New York!

To All Our Relations and Supporters

Today is #GivingTuesday!

As you may have heard this year the North American Indigenous Center of New York (NAIC-NY) is participating alongside many in the celebration of giving. NAIC-NY is a new organization in the Northeast, but we have made a big impact in the last year with a handful of festivals and events honoring the many forms of social justice organizing, interdisciplinary talent, and artistry that our community has to offer. From the Decolonizing Midwifery Convening, Come to the Fire, Northeastern Native Arts Festival, Indigenous Peoples Day at Brooklyn Children’s Museum, our Landback Mission, and the Peace Summit Campaign all in 2022! Currently, we are seeking funds to support travel and accommodations for our delegation of Traditional Onkwehonwe Leaders and Elders to attend the Peace Summit we are co-organizing in February 2023 in Mexico City.

At the Peace Summit, we will be meeting with Indigenous Peoples from Mexico and different regions of Latin America to organize and strategize solutions for now and the future. Patiently, intentionally, and carefully weaving and connecting with Indigenous Peoples from South of the Border and Black Women movement leaders to build power, get Landback, and fight for Human Rights and the Natural Law of the Land.

We are continuously working hard to be an organization that provides our community with a space that directly benefits the continuation of community strength, advocacy, development, and economic justice & cultural exchange. We are a grassroots organization and with your help, we will continue to seed a thriving Indigenous Future together!

Indigenous Lifeways: What We Do, and Where Proceeds Go

All My Relations

Reconnecting Treaty Natives of this land, with BIPOC and allies through traditional gatherings and cooperatives. Hosting socials, celebrations, exhibitions, seminars, festivals and potluck. We exchange and share traditional lifeways of this land and put it into practice in appropriate ways. We are committed to creating impactful spaces to improve lives and reconnect and strengthen the identities of Native People on their land in a good way.

LandBack

NAIC-NY negotiated and acquired 25 acres of LandBack. We will begin planting traditional Haudenosaunee Three-Sisters Mound gardens in Spring 2022. Through land reclamation, we will be revitalizing our traditional practices of both growing food and trade while building a stronger community connection.

Multi-Disciplinary Art & Culture

Indigenization: undoing the harm of colonial erasure by fully activating traditional lifeways applied to both our worldviews and mission.

We are creating platforms to feature and amplify the brilliance + richness of traditional North Eastern Woodlands Culture, practices, and artistic expression.

Indigenous Futurist: Cultural Sustainability

With regard to our next generations, the original land stewards of Turtle Island, our main focus above all else will be the the maintenance of our distinct cultures, languages and practices. Revitalizing our spiritual connection to the land, each other and applying traditional ways of thinking and existing in balance with the Natural World.
