Association of American Indian Affairs
About Association of American Indian Affairs
The Association on American Indian Affairs is the oldest non-profit serving Indian Country protecting sovereignty, preserving culture, educating youth and building capacity. The Association was formed in 1922 to change the destructive path of federal policy from assimilation, termination and allotment, to sovereignty, self-determination and self-sufficiency. Throughout our 100-year history, we have provided national advocacy on watershed issues that support sovereignty and culture, while working at a grassroots level with Tribes to support the implementation of programs that affect real lives on the ground.
The Association is governed by an all-Native American Board of Directors from across Indian country. As a membership organization, the Association speaks with unified voices from all over the country, both Native and non-Native together, to protect sovereignty, preserve culture, educate youth and build capacity.
Our vision is to create a world where diverse Native American cultures and values are lived, protected and respected.
Our mission is to lead the grassroots fight to protect Native American Cultural Sovereignty.
Our goals are to protect sovereignty, preserve culture, educate youth and build capacity.
