Native American Commission
The mission of the Native American Commission is to work together to strengthen the Native American community in order to promote understanding, recognition and respect for Native American cultures and enrich the whole community.
Native American Commission meetings are broadcast live on Fargo Access Channel 12 on the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the City Commission Room and can be seen live by video stream on www.cityoffargo.com/streaming. They are rebroadcast each Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. and Thursday at 5:00 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.
