North American Indian Center of Boston : ウィキペディア英語版 | North American Indian Center of Boston The North American Indian Center of Boston, Inc. (NAICOB) is a non-profit organization located in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, a neighborhood of Boston, which provides assistance to American Indians, Native Canadians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other indigenous peoples of North America. According to its website, the organization's mission is as follows: ==Boston Indian Council== The NAICOB began as the Boston Indian Council (BIC) on October 20, 1970, following meetings in 1969.〔 〕 During this period the Native American population in Boston and other cities was growing rapidly, and urban centers like the BIC arose to provide health care and other services. Founding members of the BIC included writer Mildred Noble, 〔 American Indian psychologist Carolyn Attneave, Canadian activist Anna Mae Aquash and the artist Philip Young, both of whom were of the Micmac nation. Shirley Moore Mills, (Mashpee Wampanoag), served as secretary to the Board of Directors. From time to time the Center published a newsletter, ''The Circle''; editors of that paper included the now well-known Ojibwe author Louise Erdrich. The BIC was also involved in curriculum development, producing a curriculum for the Boston Public Schools focused on the indigenous cultures of Maine and the Maritimes, as many BIC members hail from that region. Additionally, the Center engaged in various forms of activism, including a 1973 protest against a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party.
