Native American Programs NYC And Other Areas

By Young Lindsay


There are a number of social and service organizations in New York City, NY. Some of these, Native American programs NYC offer services directly related to those in different tribal communities. Although, it is important that Native Americans along with other minorities are also considered and treated with dignity and respect in all areas of society.

Native American studies programs are also offered at a number of universities around the world. These programs often focus on the indigenous tribes who were living in America long before the history of Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the "new land." It may very well been a discovery for Columbus but it was not "new land, " tribes had lived on the land for centuries, long before the day and time of Columbus and other early European explorers.

Although rarely reported, many tribal communities live in conditions well below poverty guidelines. One reason these social service programs are so important to so many. Still, as with most areas, there are also those who try to abuse the system. As such, it can often be difficult to acquire assistance without meeting all the necessary guidelines and qualifications required to do so.

Generally study programs offer either a Masters or Doctorate degree, while there are majors in Geology and History which include these studies, lower level degrees are often more generalized. Still, if one is looking to later acquire a more advanced degree, then these classes and studies are often required, either before moving into a program, or as a requirement for graduation.

Public offerings are also available when it comes to learning about Native American and tribal history of the United States and around the world. One great place to do so in the United States is the new Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian, as it is a museum which represents a large number of different tribes and histories. Although, while there are a number of tribes represented, one area in which information is lacking is that of the Seminole tribe.

If there are colleges or universities in the area, it can often be beneficial to check the school calendar. Although a number of events are held on campus, many are often free and open to the public. In many cases, there are events which feature a specific issue or topic along with free food, music or other entertainment.

Some areas are lucky enough to have Native American community and medical centers. One such location in which is the case is Arcata, CA and Humboldt County. The Hoops, Wiyot, and other tribes share these valuable resources. While others are more focused on saving salmon in the Klamath and other areas. When traveling, it can often be fun to check maps and stop at various tribal locations, lakes and rivers to gain an idea of the lifestyle and traditions of the many tribes who still remain an active part of this amazing history.

For those in need of assistance, one of the most important aspects is to go through the steps to apply as instructed. It is best to first complete any forms accurately and completely as possible. If questions arise, it is always better to err on the side of caution and call to confirm the answer rather than have to reapply later which can often take a great deal more time.
