Aleut International Association

The Aleut International Association (AIA) is a regional organization representing the Aleut people, an indigenous community in Alaska and Russia. Established in 1990, it aims to preserve Aleut culture, promote the rights of Aleut communities, and foster cooperation between Aleut peoples across international borders. The AIA acts as a bridge between local communities and larger governmental or international entities, advocating for cultural preservation, sustainable development, and the well-being of Aleut populations. It plays a key role in ensuring that Aleut interests are considered in regional and global decision-making processes.
