The In-Care Network believes that many of the problems that face American Indian families and Indian youth are unique to them as an ethnic group. American Indian people have a unique history since the coming of Europeans to this continent, a history that is as compelling and complex as the modern needs of Indian youth. To properly serve these unique needs, an organization needs to possess adequate historical knowledge of the developments that have affected Indian society. Also needed is an organizational depth of cultural awareness and sensitivity that reflects itself throughout the services provided by the organization.
