ABOUT US

The National Cultural Center of the Native Americans (TNCCNA) was established as a 501(c)3 Federal (FEIN 33-0605615) and State of California (C2943977) nonprofit in 1994, when our project was included into the County of Orange, California's reuse plan for the former U.S. Marine Corps Air Station-El Toro; and, later, into every subsequently reuse plan thereafter of South Orange County's El Toro Reuse Planning Authority (ETRPA) and its Millennium Plans I, II and III (The City of Irvine's annexation reuse plan with the Great Park). Unfortunately, the prolong battles of the, "FOR-Airport" versus "NO-Airport" and the annexation of the former base by the City of Irvine ensued which prompted us to seek an alternate site. We have since investigated and completed our due diligence on eighty-five prospective sites throughout Southern California that were proposed by tribes, private developers, conservancies, The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino.

Our mission is, "To serve a greater good for mankind, facilitating and servicing the multi-diverse needs of the Native Americans - the Native American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians - the indigenous and first peoples and cultures of the United States of America; to prepare them as future leaders of their people, reservations and communities, and is not limited to education, training, health care and socio-economic development; to consider the safety and well-being of children, youth and disabled maimed U.S. veterans; and, to develop The Native American Global Education Center Project, comprised of educational, training, medical and other facilities with The National Cultural Center of the Native Americans as its focal point, preserving the cultures and tradtions of the Native Americans and the prehistory of the United States of America, and educating the general public and the educational community of the real Native Americans."

To fulfill our mission, we will affiliate with educational institutions, including universities, colleges and trade, technical and arts schools, and will seek and act as sponsor for public and private gifts, donations, contributions, endowments and grants. Also, importantly, we have demonstrated our multi-diverse capabilities having simultaneously created a dynamic track record of accomplishments and contributions, as evident of being twice the recipient of the, "Disneyland Civic Community Service Leadership Award," and having earned a, "Certificate of Appreciation," from the California State Assembly and various other awards from the Native Americans, and the public and private sectors.

The National Cultural Center of the Native Americans is also a tourist destination by virtue of being a one and only of its kind in the United States of America, creating tourism, attracting worldwide visitors and travelers, and is self-sustaining through gate proceeds. Our prospective Project site is within Prado Basin, in the City of Chino, San Bernardino County, California. We will master plan our Project site and lease sites to joint venture partners from the Native American communities, and the public and private sectors, and jointly develop the retail, commercial, residential and other “for profit” components of the Project. Importantly, these essential components create and provide the opportunity for our Native American student/employees and disabled veterans to be self-sustaining - gain job skills and/or job rehabilitation with on-hands work experience, on-the-job training and the means to earn an income. Since, we are a nonprofit, our financial gains will be directed to our Scholarship Program.
