The American Indian Community House (AICH) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
organization serving the health, social service, and cultural
needs of Native Americans residing in New York City. We are now located at 11 Broadway.
AICH was founded in 1969, by Native American volunteers as a
community-based organization, mandated to improve the status of
Native Americans, and to foster inter-cultural understanding.
Since its inception, AICH has grown into a multi-faceted social
support agency and cultural center with a staff of 35 that serves
the estimated 27,000 Native Americans in New York City.
AICH membership is currently composed of Native Americans from
72 different tribes. Native American migration between urban centers
and reservations demonstrates the inter-relatedness of all Native
Americans, and from this reality emerges the recognition that
our issues and concerns are truly shared.
The AICH philosophy is that solutions can be shared as well,
AICH provides programs in job training and placement; health services
referral; HIV referral and case management services; and counseling
programs for alcoholism and substance use.
AICH also sponsors programs in cultural enrichment through a
performing arts program and the first permanent Native American
gallery in New York City.
