The Board of Advisers is a group of highly respected national and international thought-leaders, community leaders, scholars, academicians and business leaders, who are mainly Native-American and Indigenous Peoples. These highly esteemed Advisers have significantly contributed to the advancement and betterment of the Native American community and of all Indigenous Peoples. Their significant, profound, and continual contributions to people throughout the world set the bar for all true leaders to follow. Members advise the President and Faculty of AUSN, as well as our other Boards and Leadership Committees, as to pertinent issues and topics relating to Native American and Indigenous People’s culture, traditions, and customs. They provide vital and critical information as to how to best incorporate such values into the teaching of our future leaders, and identify important gaps in our knowledge to construct better policy.
