About us
The Native American Advancement Corporation hereafter referred to as the "NAAC," is a focus organization on behalf of the advancement and development of all North American Natives. Its constituent organizers chartered NAAC as an expression of a need to promote the Native Americans' interests by ensuring support, addressing issues of concern, and promoting self-sufficiency. NAAC forms subordinate entities to continue to foster development to meet the purposes of the NAAC; as authorized by the NAAC Charter. NAAC operates from over twenty million dollars in receipts since 2009. Over the past 25 years, the principals have successfully administered and managed programs that addressed energy savings and fuel assistance, financial literacy, housing, lead remediation, job creation, and job training. The management was instrumental in founding the New Jersey Commission on American Indian Affairs. The core principles of this organization have a successful management history. Programs: Our AmeriCorps program, Cohanzick Climate Corps, promotes environmental stewardship by installing energy-saving materials to reduce utility bills for low-income households. At the same time, we are making a difference in our community, teaching skills that members will use their entire career, no matter where they work, and earning money to further their education. AmeriCorps is a nationwide community service program. In every state, programs like ours help address needs within our communities, like literacy, poverty, public safety, healthy living, and protecting the environment. We also help recruit community volunteers for the communities we serve. Our Weatherization and HIP programs are designed to help low-income families and individuals reduce energy costs by providing materials and installation of approved items. Our Lead Remediation program assists eligible occupants in remediating and/or abatement lead-based paint hazards in pre-1978 one to four-family residential units.

November is Native American Heritage Month, a time for reflection and recognition. Yet for us, the local Native communities throughout New Jersey, acknowledgment remains a quiet echo despite our lasting presence and contributions. Native American Advancement Corp with the Cohanzick Nature Reserve is a testament to resilience and progress, securing over $26 million in state and federal conservation and workforce development funding. We've partnered with communities and organizations statewide, building a legacy for environmental justice, yet remain unseen in the spaces that celebrate others' achievements. This November, join us as we amplify our voices, heritage, and impact. It's time to recognize the Indigenous heartbeat that sustains this land. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #IndigenousHeritage #HonorNativeVoices #IndigenousPride #NativeRepresentation #NativeVoicesMatter #ProtectNativeLand #LandBack #SupportNativeCommunities #IndigenousStorytelling #NativeAmericanHistory #IndigenousStrength #HeritageAndHealing #WeAreStillHere #CelebrateNativeCulture New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

We had the pleasure of hosting Stockton University’s Arts and Humanities class at Cohanzick Nature Reserve! Students immersed themselves in the beauty of nature, learning how to find stillness and inspiration in the world around them. Connecting deeply with the land is at the heart of creativity, a path that opens the soul to endless possibilities. It was an inspiring day witnessing each student take their first steps toward becoming one with nature to fuel their creative journey. #CohanzickNatureReserve #StocktonUniversity #CreativityInNature #IndigenousLand #inspiration

We welcomed Montclair University’s Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) program to Cohanzick Nature Reserve! Together, we explored the profound relationship between creativity and nature, drawing inspiration from the land’s energy and history. As students engaged with the environment, they discovered the depth of connection that fuels Indigenous creativity and understanding. Thank you, Montclair NAIS, for honoring Cohanzick with your presence and for embracing this journey with us. #CohanzickNatureReserve #MontclairUniversity #NAIS #IndigenousCreativity #ConnectingWithNature

NAAC is excited to announce a new partnership with West Harlem Environmental Action Inc. (WE ACT for Environmental Justice), a leader in the fight for environmental and climate justice. This collaboration is part of a broader effort initiated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which awarded WE ACT the responsibility of operating the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (TCTAC) for EPA Region 2. Covering New York, New Jersey, and 8 Indian Nations, the TCTAC provides technical support to underserved, rural, and remote communities so they can access crucial grant funding and resources. https://lnkd.in/ePdzpDBR
