Administration for Native Americans Eastern Region
About Administration for Native Americans Eastern Region
Serving the Reston, VA area and tribal communities throughout the eastern United States, the Administration for Native Americans Eastern Region represents a commitment to Native self-determination and community prosperity. Operated through a partnership with Miami Technology Solutions, LLC—an SBA-certified tribal-owned enterprise of the Miami Nation of Oklahoma—the center embodies the principle that Native communities should lead their own development. The organization's mission centers on supporting American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native peoples of Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands in achieving economic and social self-sufficiency. The team includes members from Native nations including the Oneida Nation, Narragansett Indian Tribe, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, bringing authentic cultural understanding and lived experience to their work. With staff who have dedicated decades to serving tribal nations—including 29 years of grant writing expertise and 17 years of technical assistance experience—the center provides more than just services; it offers partnership rooted in genuine understanding of tribal challenges and aspirations. The Eastern Region Training and Technical Assistance Center in Reston, VA stands as a bridge between federal resources and tribal vision, helping Native organizations transform their goals into sustainable, thriving communities while preserving the cultural values that define their nations.
