ORGANIZATIONS

California Institute for Community, Arts and Nature - California I CAN's core projects include working with the native communities of California on issues of political sovereignty and cultural survival, understanding and maintaining Berkeley as a center of cultural and social innovation, and exploring the powerful connection between nature—place—and the arts, and the role they play in invigorating the social imagination.

The Living New Deal - Far from an antiquarian exercise, the Living New Deal aims to help preserve New Deal art and architecture from destruction or privatization, to see that New Deal sites are properly marked, and to help communities and families across the nation rediscover their heritage.

The Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) - SPARC’s mission is to produce, preserve, and promote activist and socially relevant artwork; to devise and innovate excellent art pieces through participatory processes; and ultimately, to foster artistic collaborations that empower communities who face marginalization or discrimination.

Museum of the American Indian - The Museum of the American Indian uplifts, supports, and makes visible the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas by offering authentic educational programs and cultural resources to Marin and the greater Bay Area.

National Museum of the American Indian - In partnership with Native peoples and their allies, the National Museum of the American Indian fosters a richer shared human experience through a more informed understanding of Native peoples.

Precita Eyes Muralists - Precita Eyes Muralists Association, Inc., established in 1977, is a community-based, inner-city mural arts organization devoted to enriching and beautifying urban environments through community mural collaborations. They bring art into the daily lives of people through a process that enables them to reflect their specific concerns, joys, and triumphs.

Lakota People's Law Project - The Lakota flourished for centuries before Europeans arrived on these lands, and their tradition of living in relation to all things is more important today than ever. LPLP is committed to working toward the revitalization of the Lakota People and culture.

MAGAZINES

News from Native California is a quarterly magazine devoted to the vibrant cultures, arts, languages, histories, social justice movements, and stories of California’s diverse Indian peoples.

Featuring Native American art and culture, American Indian Magazine engages its readers with diverse articles about the fascinating and often overlooked histories of American Indian nations and the contemporary challenges facing Native peoples across the Western Hemisphere.
