Who We Are

About The Alliance
Working Together Toward a Common Goal
There is so much we can accomplish in the world when we work together. But it all starts with recognizing the value of all people. Until we do that, there will continue to be conflict and despair, especially for those who need our love and kindness the most.
The Alliance is dedicated to peace. We believe in the promise of humanity and the need for a common good. Not a greater good but a common good that is afforded to all. Where inclusivity, dignity, and respect are shared freely among all people.
Our Purpose
- To nurture, maintain, strengthen, empower, promote and propagate the ancient language, culture, heritage, music, dance, drama, movies, and literature of indigenous peoples.
- To organize social, cultural and heritage events that foster cooperation, understanding, and unity amongst people of all ethnic backgrounds.
- To use dance performances, cultural exhibitions programs that help preserve ethnic, cultural, linguistic, heritage and traditions of indigenous peoples
- To establish active networks with other organizations and institutions with similar interest that facilitates the exchange of cultural heritage ideas to benefit the youth, elderly, immigrants, ethnic groups, neighborhoods, towns, cities and educational institutions in North Carolina
- To offer creative programs and encourage Veterans to use their gifts and talents to cope with disabilities and difficulties in life and transform lives and help develop the talents and gifts of our local Veterans and families through the Arts.
