Native American Cultural Center's Interests
|
| General | The Native American Cultural Center (NACC) promotes indigenous arts and culture in the San Francisco Bay Area primarily and California generally. ABALONE is the name of our online cultural center. Our history in San Francisco begins in 1964, continues through Alcatraz -- which was the designated Native American Cultural Center during the takeover from 1969-71-- and several other locations. Since 1996 we have been a 'homeless' cultural center seeking a permanent facility in San Francisco. | | Books | To meet the need for more awareness about indigenous cultures, NACC collaborates with local universities and local teachers to offer a wide variety of educational materials for students and teachers on Abalone, its online cultural center. All materials are downloadable, raise useful classroom questions, and relate to state American Indian curricular requirements for 3rd-4th grades, and history requirements for 8th-10th graders. New materials are added regularly. NACC also offers educational events, lectures, conferences, and classes that draw people to San Francisco's rich indigenous cultural offerings. |

About me:
NACC was first formed in 1964 as part of the broader civil rights movement for American Indians, which had its birth here in the Bay Area with the Alcatraz occupation. After a hiatus in the early 1990s, NACC was reestablished with a new mission in 1995 by a core group of members from the Indian Center of All Nations (ICAN). It was a leader in the fight to secure more equitable funding from the City of San Francisco for historically underrepresented cultural centers and community arts organizations. It helped secure the legislation crafting the Hotel Tax Fund line item for cultural centers and cultural equity programs in 1996. It was a leader in the public campaign for bond funds to improve and expand cultural centers in 1997. NACC helped form the Coalition for Community Cultural Centers, the organization that receives and reviews funding for San Francisco's sponsored cultural centers. Among its past projects include collaborations with American Indian Contemporary Arts, the American Indian Film Festival, InkClan, SOMARTS, and other fine Bay Area organizations.
