American Indian Heritage Foundation

The continuing programs of AIHF are possible because of the gifts of individuals like yourself, all across the country. The foundation receives no government funds and continues to provide these necessary programs for native people because of the generousity of the American people. Some of the programs include the National Indian Eagle Student Awards, giving much needed recognition to native students in the catagories of Leadership, Personal Achievement, athletics, performing arts, arts and crafts, and others. A National Miss Indian USA Scholarship Awards Program is held each year, providing over $40,000 in new scholarships and awards to young native women. Our national emergency relief program surveys tribal and Indian Daycare and urban center needs. Emergency supplies are shipped directly to tribal offices or distribution centers to be provided to native people. AIHF was the sponsoring organization innitiating the Bill, passed by Congress in 1990, declaring November as National American Indian Heritage Month. Special events are held each November to promote national awareness and preservation of American Indian Culture and traditions.
