What We Do

The Association on American Indian Affairs envisions a world where diverse Native American cultures and values are lived, protected and respected.

To achieve this vision, the Association will lead
the grassroots fight to protect 
​Native American Cultural Sovereignty by:
-Preserving Culture
-Educating Youth
-Protecting Sovereignty
-Building Capacity



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 its 100-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.

Join the #EverythingBack Movement

We are empowered and guided by the concept of #EverythingBack as an intentional movement towards reconciliation, reparation, return – healing and making whole – of everything that was stolen, taken, and looted without free, prior, and informed consent.
#EverythingBack is about shared values for the environment, diversity, family and community. #EverythingBack is a call to action to Indian Country, our allies, and supporters to stand united and demand that the very things that make us who we are as human beings and autonomous sovereign Nations, are returned. This movement is for the healing of Native Nations and their citizens, as well as a healing for all of us as we take accountability in our roles to take care of the Earth, and one another. 

Join the #EverythingBack Movement by using the hashtags on social media while centering Native voices on these issues!​
