National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development—NCAIED
In 1969, a small group of seven American Indian community leaders visualized the alleviation of many American Indian problems by improved economic conditions. These dynamic individuals based in Los Angeles, California combined their efforts to start a grass roots economic development organization. Dedicated to assisting American Indian economic and enterprise development, their activities originally concentrated on urban populations of American Indians in California. Fittingly, they named the organization “UIDA” which stood for the Urban Indian Development Association.
