Founded in 1977, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society is THE national, nonprofit organization focused on substantially increasing the representation of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawai’ians, Pacific Islanders, First Nations, and other indigenous people of North America in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) studies and careers. Not a day goes by where we are not reminded of the important role we each have when it comes to decisions that are made about our world involving technology and its implications. AISES has long assumed — and continues to play — a vital role in ensuring that we are ready to respond and lead in STEM. And today’s stronger AISES is more prepared than ever to meet that need.
