Southern California Indian Center, Inc. has been able to provide services and resources to American
Indians in the counties of Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange for the last 40 years. As we move into our
“40th Ruby Anniversary” year, it is very important for us to remember and recognize our elders for their
vision and efforts. They represent the history of our American Indian people and the sacrifices our
ancestors made to give us a secure place in society. It is on this strong foundation that we continue to
build as we endeavor to perservere with our mission of providing services for intertribal urban American
Indians, as well as Alaskan and Native Hawaiians.
For the past 40 years, the goal of SCIC has been to promote social and economic self-sufficiency among
American Indian people. This represents our efforts to provide a positive contribution to American
society and share our vision with non-Indian people. Our "unique trust" relationship with the U. S.
Government has created a delicate balance of success from resources based on treaties that provide
promises of protection and services from the United States in exchange for land. This trust responsibility
extends through the tribe to the individual tribal member whether residing on or off-reservation or tribal
homelands. This trust relationship is the foundation for agencies providing service to American Indian
people throughout the country.
In recognizing this relationship and its impact on Indian people, we also give our thanks and recognition to those Indian Nations whose
homelands encompass Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties. In particular, we give our thanks to the Indigenous Tribes in Southern
California. The Southern California Indian Center, Inc. main office is located in their homeland and we honor them and their ancestors and ask
their blessing on our facilities, staff, and board members.
On behalf of the Southern California Indian Center Board of Directors, staff, and community, we would like to thank all who have contributed to
our community. Southern California Indian Center's success has been due to the hard work and dedication of those that believe in our mission.
They include: our staff, volunteers, donors, and corporate sponsors.
We appreciate all our support from the community we serve and look forward to another successful 40 years.
