Elevate American Indian Culture, Community, & Values
Our vision is to create and provide a dynamic place of learning, cultural preservation, and community for the Bay Area to learn about American Indian & Alaskan Native (AIAN) heritage and culture, and to generate a sense of understanding about AIAN peoples in California cities.
AICC currently is building a community art space to provide culturally relevant AIAN education, art, and information, sharing wellness programs in an inclusive and safe community space. AICC space will provide a home for American Indian youth, elders, families, and everyone in the Bay Area to participate, connect, and grow.
Since 1968, the purpose of the American Indian Center has been to create a community space based on Native American values, culture, programming, traditional foods, and community support.
Our Mission
The mission of the American Indian Cultural Center of San Francisco is to improve and promote the well-being of the American Indian community and to increase the visibility of American Indian cultures in an urban setting in order to cultivate awareness, understanding and respect.
Our Vision
The AICCSF strives to maintain, preserve and restore a permanent and prominent presence for the Bay Area American Indian inter-tribal community that continues to exist. Our vision is to create and provide a dynamic place of learning, culture and community to the citizens of the Bay Area to learn about American Indian heritage and culture and to enhance a sense of understanding about American Indians in the urban environment.
AICCSF will demonstrate community health and wellness through kinship and spirituality by nurturing our connection to our knowledge keepers, oral traditions, tribal languages and cultures, while encouraging fearless expression through theater arts, music, ceremonial events, media, writing, and film that will increase the visibility of American Indians in the greater Bay
We are working to recreate a space that will provide culturally relevant education, art, information-sharing, and wellness programs in an inclusive “safe community space.” This space will be open for the American Indian community and everyone in the bay to participate, connect, and grow.
