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 98-year history, the Association has 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. Your commitment to Indian Country and the Association's Cultural Sovereignty programs is a commitment to a new generation of Tribal leaders, environmental health, respect for diverse Native American cultures, and healing from centuries of historic and intergenerational trauma.
