Native American Commission

 

The mission of the Fargo Native American Commission (NAC) is to work together to strengthen the Native American community to promote understanding, recognition, and respect for Native American cultures and to enrich the whole community. The NAC assists in funding events that fit within its mission.

Native American Commission meetings are broadcast live on TV Fargo channel 12 on the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the City Commission Room at 200 3rd St. N. and can be seen live by video stream on www.cityoffargo.com/streaming. They are rebroadcast each Tuesday at 8 a.m. and Thursday at 5 p.m.

The Native American Commission's goals are:

  • Define the funding priorities for Native American programs and services.
  • Determine the services that might be provided by a facility to serve the Native American community.
  • Recommend an effective anti-racism education model and facilitate city and community participation in training.
