The Association on American Indian Affairs is the oldest non-profit serving Indian Country protecting sovereignty, preserving culture and educating youth. 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 its 96-year history, the Association has provided national advocacy on watershed issues that support sovereignty and culture, while working on the ground at a grassroots level with Tribes to support the implementation of programs that affect lives on the ground.
Currently, AAIA 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, AAIA will achieve its vision to ensure “A world where Native American cultures and values are lived, protected and respected.”
But one thing is very clear. We cannot continue into the next 100 years without you. We need your commitment, we need your time, we need your advocacy, and most important, we need your financial support to continue the great path that AAIA has laid down over the last 100 years. Now is the time to commit to the next 100 years of American Indian sovereignty, culture, education and capacity building.
The Association offers opportunities for your commitment at every level. Your support will fund programs that protect sovereignty, preserve culture, educate youth and build capacity. Commit to our 100 Months in 100 Years Campaign! Or, become a Special Cultural Sovereignty Advocate by joining AAIA's Legacy Council. Together we can affect the change necessary to strengthen Indian Country for the next 100 years.

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.
