About Us
The primary reason people join hands with Native American Media (NAM) is they choose to include Native Americans in their outreach activities. There is also a desire to create or strengthen a meaningful alliance within the community, one that can be relied upon.
Chartered in 1974 in partnership with the American Indian Historical Society and its award-winning publication, Wassaja, NAM interfaces with corporate, educational and government sectors in multiple areas. Programs include promoting career and college internship opportunities, fostering cultural awareness, and providing informational resources and social services to the general public. For entities who maintain diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, NAM’s supplier diversity program offers an avenue to reach out to certified Native American vendors.
Contingent on federal funding and other grant opportunities, NAM will be co-producing a 20-25-minute documentary film tentatively titled, “Native America – Past, Present, and Future.” The piece will represent a creative collaboration between historians and award-winning filmmakers, and provide an accurate depiction of Native peoples and the community’s contributions to America. The unique and timely film will be freely distributed to schools and other forums, and holds the potential of impacting tens of millions of people.
The Association is partially funded through memberships and fees for special projects. Native American Media does not utilize any agency or organization in representing its programs.
NAM has garnered the appreciation of leadership and student groups throughout Indian Country, as well proactive corporate citizens, government agencies and higher learning institutions. We pride ourselves on our ability to serve, regardless of tribal affiliation or economic status.
