The Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA) is the oldest Native American service and advocacy organization in the United States, started in New York in 1922. Our mission is to promote the well being of American Indians and Alaska Natives through our programs that focus upon youth/education (scholarships, child welfare, summer camps, juvenile justice), cultural preservation (sacred lands protection, international repatriation) and sovereignty (federal acknowledgment reform, access to direct federal funding for tribal programs).
