2020 NAC Parade Cancellation

2020 NAC Parade Cancellation

It was a hard decision!

Native American Connections is cancelling this year’s 40th Annual Parade scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2020.

We make this decision out of respect and safety of our elders and our community. We are vigilant to do our part in ridding Mother Earth of this pandemic and restoring peace, strength and healing to all.

We are considering other options on how to celebrate Native American Recognition Days, and if a suitable solution is found we will communicate our message to you, our relatives, and all our community.

Telling Authentic Stories

Our traditions are the foundation of our organization - explore, learn, and utilize resources available for all.

Getting Help

A "chronically homeless" individual is defined to mean a homeless individual with a disability who lives either in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter or in an institutional care facility if the individual has been living in the facility for fewer than ninety (90) days and had been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven or in an emergency shelter immediately before entering the institutional care facility. In order to meet the ‘‘chronically homeless’’ definition, the individual also must have been living as described above continuously for at least twelve (12) months or on at least four (4) separate occasions in the last three (3) years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least twelve (12) months. Each period separating the occasions must include at least seven (7) nights of living in a situation other than a place not meant for human habitation, in an emergency shelter or in a safe haven.

Federal nondiscrimination laws define a person with a disability to include any (1) individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individual with a record of such impairment; or (3) individual who is regarded as having such an impairment. In general, a physical or mental impairment includes, but is not limited to, examples of conditions such as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), developmental disabilities, mental illness, drug addiction, and alcoholism.
