Since the organization was founded in 1986, the society has created a large collaborative network of federal agencies, foundations, corporations and individuals in an effort to improve the quality of life and the living conditions of Native American Indians on reservations across the country. They coordinate with representatives in the communities to establish what the needs are for the community and then try to find individuals or groups who are willing to give assistance. Originally the started out in their own community in Colorado. Then in the Fall of 1995 began using internet resources to help establish contacts with people from all over North America. Not a United Way agency, Night Walker is entirely dependent on fund-raisers and donations by individuals, churches, and private businesses to meet operating costs.
All funds go undiluted towards goods, with truck rental and fuel as major expenses.
Night Walker is dedicated to improving distressed conditions on Native American reservations while promoting dignity and pride in the Native American heritage, its traditions and spirituality. Reservations receiving delivered goods in 1999 included Ft. Birney, Pine Ridge, Crow Creek, and Fort Belknap Mountain Reservations. Copyright 1999 Canadian Aboriginal.
