The American Indian Center of Chicago is planning to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2023.
The center was there to help the new arrivals feel at home and stay connected to their culture -- a mission that remains today with the AIC's social services offerings and cultural programming.
ABC Owned Television Stations recently premiered an hour-long documentary around Native American sovereignty called "What sovereignty looks like for Native people depends on who you ask and where they live. For Serna, it means visibility. The AIC continues to work on making sure Native Americans have a seat at the table where policy decisions are being made that impact their community. The nonprofit is also focused on providing more services that honor their traditions -- and that includes building a rooftop garden for their Food as Medicine program. Serna hopes to harvest thousands of pounds of food each year to feed the community. She calls Chicago an indigenous food desert.
