Honoring over 100 Years of Service
|
The Association on American Indian Affairs is the oldest non-profit serving Native 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 more than 100-year history, we have provided national advocacy on watershed issues that support sovereignty and culture, while working at a grassroots level with Native Nations to support the implementation of programs that affect real lives on the ground.
Currently, the Association is engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process to prepare the organization for its next 100 years. By building internal capacity and efficient infrastructure around our cultural values, the Association will achieve its vision to ensure “A world where diverse Native cultures and values are lived, protected and respected.” |

Help us hold institutions like Harvard accountable to their repatriation obligations.
On February 18, 2021 the Association sent a letter to Harvard University President Lawrence S. Bacow calling on Harvard to comply with NAGPRA and require the free, prior and informed consent of Native Nations before research can be performed on those collections.

Meet Our New Partner: Team Indigenous Rising Roller Derby
|
The Association on American Indian Affairs recently partnered with Team Indigenous to support their mission and promote the team’s advocacy for Indigenous rights and visibility. The partnership is a natural fit, as both organizations are dedicated to promoting Indigenous rights. For example, Team Indigenous is working to raise awareness about issues like Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples, water rights, culture and sovereignty. Through the Association and Team Indigenous’ partnership, we will be working together to inspire a new generation of Indigenous athletes and to raise awareness about the importance of honoring Native culture and traditions.
