Association on American Indian Affairs welcomes three new board members
The Association on American Indian Affairs appointed three Native women leaders to its Board of Directors: Jamie Gomez, Lycia Ortega, and Makalika Nāholowaʻa. Each brings decades of experience in advocacy, law, and communications. Their leadership will support the Association’s mission to protect sovereignty, preserve culture, and empower Native communities. The new members will be fully appointed at the Association's 103rd Annual Membership meeting in December 2025.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
