Policy Briefs

The American Indian Studies Center, in conjunction with The California Wellness Foundation, The American Indian Community Council (AICC), and the Los Angeles City/County Native American Indian Commission (LACCNAIC), will be developing a series of policy briefs that analyze and report on available 2010 U.S. Census data. Previously, the AICC and LACCNAIC worked with the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Policy Center at UCLA to publish similar policy briefs for the 2000 U.S. Census. The new policy briefs will build upon this past work and include a comparative study of Los Angeles American Indian/Alaska Native population trends.

The policy briefs will aid public and private organizations advocate for funding various American Indian/Alaska Native initiatives. This includes initiatives involving housing, health, and education.
