National Center for Great Lakes Native American Culture

http://www.ncglnac.org
The National Center for Great Lakes Native American Culture, Incorporated (NCGLNAC) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) Indiana corporation made up of Native and non-Native people who have been involved with and are dedicated to preserving the millenia-long tradition, art, and history of Great Lakes Native American tribes. 

While we honor and appreciate the traditions, arts and crafts of all American Indian People, NCGLNAC is dedicated specifically to preserving Great Lakes Native culture. NCGLNAC also feels that there is much to be gained by including other cultures in this process. People cannot appreciate what they do not understand. Thus we welcome all people to our public programs. While our goal is to preserve Great Lakes Native culture, we aim to include everyone

Since it was founded NCGLNAC has organized several successful events, most notably its signature craft workshops. Held over one weekend in the spring and one week in the summer, workshops feature a selection of 2-3 day classes in traditional Native crafts taught by some of the many tradition-bearers who have generously come to share their skills and knowledge with us. NCGLNAC has also organized a fall academic conference in past years.
 
NCGLNAC owns nearly 30 acres (generously donated by the Jay County Fair Board) of beautiful, wooded land, complete with pond and wetlands, located just north of the Jay County Fairgrounds in Portland.
