NCIDC will work to foster culturally appropriate communication and services needed by American Indian people to achieve self-determination in the economic, social service, cultural, educational, employment and related fields.

Vision Statement

Our Native people and most importantly our youth are sacred and deserve to be proud of their culture, heritage, traditions, languages and ancestors. We want our people to succeed in all aspects of an integrated life, work, family, spirituality, social relations, physical well being and cultural pride. NCIDC will provide resources and services to assist American Indians to meet these goals.
