​Spring 2018 Scholarship Winners Announced!
 Undergraduate and Graduate scholarships are available to help Native American students attain a college education that will benefit not only them, but their families and communities. Scholarships are available before each semester and deadlines for applications are posted here in the Fall and Spring. 

 
Our initiatives fight to support and strengthen culture through programs with youth (scholarships, child welfare, summer camps), protection of lands, sacred sites, cultural items and ancestors,  and  empowering Tribal self-determination (federal acknowledgment and building capacity for cultural programs).
​​
At AAIA, we are committed to providing Tribes, Native families and youth extensive tools and guidance on issues such as Juvenile Justice, Title IV-E, Indian Child Welfare, Repatriation, and Sacred Lands Protection.

Working in Indian Country

Five percent of the purchase price from every copy sold of Larry Keown's book "Working in Indian Country: Building Successful Business Relationships with American Indian Tribes" will be donated to the Association on American Indian Affairs. 

“Larry Keown makes many interesting and perceptive observations, which will be valuable to non-Indians who do not have much experience working with tribes. He has put an impressive amount of time and effort into thinking about this topic based upon his experiences and listened carefully to what Indian people have had to say. All of this is reflected in his book which provides a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of meaningful consultation with Indian tribal nations.”
