Our Community Village

Traditional teachings tell us that we are all connected to one another in both a spiritual and social way.   As an urban Native American community in transition we are constantly seeking ways in which to retain our relations and traditions; meet the contemporary needs of our community; and assert our voice in the broader non-native community.  As such we are part of a Native American village circle within a larger urban community.

Barrios Unidos: Community Development, education, social services, and prison support.
