AIANTA CEO Sherry L. Rupert getting ready for the holidays.

If you’re looking for distinctive gifts for the holiday season and beyond, you’ll find a treasure trove of unique and hand-crafted items from Native artisans, both independently and at tribally owned museums and cultural centers around the country.

Under a partnership launched in April, AIANTA and Leave No Trace will be working with Native Nations and communities to develop an education campaign that aims to increase awareness among visitors to Native lands by providing tools to educate the public on reducing avoidable impacts to land, water and cultural heritage resources. More information can be found here - https://www.aianta.org/leave-no-trace/

The first phase of the project launches February 2022 and asks for Native input on language and messaging. AIANTA and Leave No Trace are soliciting interest from Native advisors who may be interested in joining a steering group that will help inform the direction of the responsible visitation and recreation education campaign.

The advisory group will be made up of representatives from all of AIANTA’s 15 regions. If you are interested in being considered for participation in the group, please contact hpeterson@aianta.org for consideration.
