NCSA has been providing programs and services designed and delivered for Indigenous people, by Indigenous people in Alberta for over 50 years. We started by providing Courtworker assistance with the goal of attaining fair and equitable treatment for Indigenous people across the province.

Our family and youth programs, family, youth and criminal Indigenous Courtwork programs, two correctional institutions for Indigenous offenders (Buffalo Sage Wellness House and Stan Daniels Healing Centre), and BearPaw Media and Education position NCSA as a leader in the development of restorative justice models and practices for Indigenous people.
