The center could use the Food Banks assistance for feeding the elderly and children of the community. Indigenous intertribal community center with meetings held for passing down knowledge from our ancestors.

Focal point and pillar of the Native American community, delivering services, assistance and cultural programs to the Native community in a safe and inclusive manner.

An amazing cultural center for Native and non native community members to experience classes, speakers, movies and potluck dinners. Learn about the rich history of Native Americans in the bay area

It feels weird writing a review for a community center, but I will say this is a long-standing space for Native folks in Oakland and the Bay Area. Where San Francisco has more pomp, IFH looks and feels more homelike and community-based.
