American Indian Business Association
Biographical notes:
The American Indian Business Association of Chicago and the Midwest was linked to a consortium of 9 or 10 Illinois Indian organizations. This body was designated as the Administrative Unit. Consortium members appointed a representative to the Consortium Board. Board members had to be of Native American descent and to reside or be employed in the region. Consortium Board meetings were held (for the most part) at least once every thirty days.
Established in Chicago in 1974, NAES College (Native American Educational Service) aimed to improve the leadership of Native communities and to ensure that tribal knowledge, traditions and values play a major role in the higher education of Native students. Before closing its doors in 2007, NAES College offered a single degree, a Bachelor's of Arts in General Studies with an emphasis in Public Policy, and tribal knowledge, community service, community development and leadership.
