In 1973, the first six American Indian tribally controlled colleges established the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) to provide a support network as they worked to influence federal policies on American Indian higher education. Today, AIHEC has grown to 37 Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in the United States. Each of these institutions was created and chartered by its own tribal government or the federal government for a specific purpose: to provide higher education opportunities to American Indians through programs that are locally and culturally based, holistic, and supportive.
Through AIHEC, our colleges continue to work together to influence policy and build programs in all facets of higher education. They receive technical assistance in key areas; network with one another, federal agencies, other institutions, and potential partners; mentor new institutions; and plan new initiatives to address evolving areas of need.
AIHEC provides leadership and influences public policy on American Indian and Alaska Native higher education issues through advocacy, research, and programmatic initiatives; promotes and strengthens Indigenous languages, cultures, communities, lands, and tribal nations; and through its unique position, serves member institutions and developing TCUs.
AIHEC activities are supported by member dues, grants and contracts. AIHEC is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors, which is composed of the presidents of the accredited United States-based TCUs. The board elects from its membership an executive committee to oversee the activities of the collective body and the AIHEC staff.
Fifty-five years ago, Indians living in the Washington area decided to form a group that would fill the need for a central organization representing as many tribes as possible. The American Indian Society of Washington, DC (AISDC) formally organized in August 1966 with a constitution, by-laws, and elected officers. That young group of less than 20 original members has grown and fluctuated over the years. Our members represent many different Tribal Nations, Bands, and friends spanning Indian Country.
Our goal is to provide cultural education and community support across the common ground we all share.
The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) has contracted with Miami Technology Solutions, LLC, an SBA certified tribal-owned 8(a) and HUBZone enterprise of the Miami Nation of Oklahoma, to provide training and technical assistance service to tribes and Native organizations within the eastern region of the United States.
The Eastern Region Training and Technical Assistance Center is committed to tribes and Native organizations pressing toward economic development, cultural preservation and community development through professional training and technical assistance.
This training & technical assistance center is a resource that is sponsored by the Administration for Native Americans. ANA promotes the goal of economic and social self-sufficiency for American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and the Native peoples of Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
