The National Indian Education Association (NIEA) is a Washington, DC-based organization that focuses on education administration programs to support Native students, educators, families, communities, and tribes. Founded in 1969, NIEA aims to expand access to equal educational opportunities by helping tribes and communities build capacity to administer high-quality education programs rooted in culturally based models that promote language preservation and the continuation of Indigenous traditions. The organization situates itself in the education sector as a national advocate and resource, working to advance comprehensive opportunities for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians across the United States. Its activities are centered on fostering educational systems that respect Indigenous sovereignty and provide inclusive educational experiences for Native learners. A recent development noted in the public sphere is NIEA’s ongoing engagement with events and initiatives that bring together Native education leaders, advocates, and federal stakeholders to support Indigenous language programs and education sovereignty.
