The Northern California Indian Development Council, Inc. is a private nonprofit corporation that annually provides services to 14,000 to 15,000 clients statewide. NCIDC was established in 1976 to research, develop and administer social and economic development programs designed to meet the needs of Indian and Native American Communities; to provide support and technical assistance for the development of such programs, and the conservation and preservation of historic and archeological sites and resources.

Active concerns and efforts span a great number of areas from environmental preservation and restoration, to economic and cultural development. Through the efforts of tribal governments and organizations such as NCIDC, Indian people will continue to play an increasingly important and central role in the ongoing development of our local communities and the State of California for future generations.
