SUMMARY:Benefit Concert for North American Indian Center of Boston
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the North American Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB) and all they do to support Indigenous Peoples in the Greater Boston area. Dance to Classic Rock with Stanley and The Undercovers. Good work\, Great Fun! \nAs the oldest urban Indian center in Massachusetts\, NAICOB’s mission is to empower the Native American community with the goal of improving the quality of life of Indigenous peoples. NAICOB was originally established in 1969 as the Boston Indian Council (BIC) when it served as the hub of social and civil rights activities for the American Indian/Alaska Native and First Nations urban Indian community in Boston. Indigenous community members met across the street from Boston Common\, then on Washington Street in Dorchester\, and in 1974 established our current center on South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plain. In 1976\, Governor Dukakis signed Executive Order No. 126 recognizing the Boston Indian Council as the state’s liaison with resident members of tribes with whom the state holds Treaties and other agreements. The BIC reorganized as the North American Indian Center of Boston in 1991 and offered innovative programs such as a drop-in recovery facility\, Native American head start\, and on-site job training. They continue to provide a wide range of cultural\, social\, educational\, and professional services to Native peoples in the Commonwealth\, guided by the express needs of their community members.
