NACC-IL was established to support the Native American Entrepreneur and Commerce that benefits Indian Country. 

I'm always interested in ways to promote a positive image of our American Indian Culture & Community. My priority is to help our American Indian Community to stay relevant to what’s new in business, while maintaining respect for culture and tradition. Equally important to me, is showing our American Indian Youth the beauty and pride in being American Indian. Our people are truly beautiful, vibrant, and resilient!

Together, we can show the world that in the face of centuries of adversity and struggle, American Indians are still here, thriving and growing! I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve our community and even more humbled by those that support and believe in the vision. Thank you Creator.

 While we may be small in numbers, we are certainly not small in heart. Undeniably, “modern Natives” are the very essence of perseverance, resilience, and versatility. Our Chamber extends an esteemed “welcome” to you. We hope you join us in our path to prosperity.
