NAICCO Cuisine

Upon entering NAICCO’s 50th anniversary things have been somewhat bitter and sweet. On one hand, we have had to pay particularly close attention to those who embody our mission and vision work at NAICCO—due to the shifting landscape occurring around Indian Country and beyond.

On the other hand, new and exciting developments have begun to unfold around Land Back NAICCO. Because of the significance of Land Back NAICCO and its direct linkage to the NAICCO community, we are obligated to give this campaign our undivided attention. This simply means that we will be devoting a substantial amount of time and effort to exploring the options and possibilities that have emerged and been put before us in relation to Land Back NAICCO. Therefore, in 2025, NAICCO Cuisine is expected to operate on a limited basis because of the significance of each of these situations.

You can read the articles, view the videos, and look at the photos on this page to find out more about NAICCO Cuisine and the prosperous journey this unique Native American street food trailer has traveled over the years.

Following a successful unveiling amid the pandemic—receiving stellar reviews and features in Ohio-area and Midwest media outlets—NAICCO Cuisine has made an outstanding showing being the first food trailer of its kind in the country.

NAICCO Cuisine is best known for being a Native American owned and operated food trailer based out of Central Ohio. The operation is unique in the fact that it offers a one-of-a-kind menu consisting of exquisite Native American street food—Fry Bread, NDN Taco, NDN Taco Bowl, and Buffalo Burger.

NAICCO Cuisine takes pride in creating opportunities for Native community members to earn extra income and develop future employability skills through hands-on training and experience. The operation not only provides a nurturing atmosphere that fosters community, buy-in and ownership, but as well, serves as a platform for cultivating traditional Native American values and practices—prayer, respect, compassion, truth, generosity, humility, and wisdom (foundational fabric of Native communities).

The revenue generated by NAICCO Cuisine helps supplement the important programming at NAICCO, along with helping keep the lights on. NAICCO Cuisine also serves as a means for engaging the general public, thus, to raise awareness, build relationships, and create a real sense of visibility for today’s Native Americans in Ohio. Through Native foods, serving as a warm handshake unto the general public, NAICCO Cuisine has proven to be a heartfelt win for countless people—both Natives and non-Natives alike.

Our team is both humbled and grateful for all the love and support everyone has shown NAICCO Cuisine over the years. We could not have imagined such an awesome experience in our wildest dreams. A huge THANK YOU goes out to each and every person out there who helped NAICCO Cuisine get off to a phenomenal start, and for helping us achieve enormous success over the years.
