About United American Indian Involvement (UAII)

UAII is focused on the holistic treatment of the American Indian and Alaskan Native community in the urban Los Angeles area by providing comprehensive integrated services that focus on all age groups and incorporate our culture and traditions.

Our History

From our beginnings in 1974 as a small community-based organization on the streets of Skid Row to our current position as a multidisciplinary comprehensive service center, weโ€™ve built an enduring trust with our native community.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to promote and support the physical, behavioral, and spiritual well-being of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the urban Los Angeles area by providing comprehensive integrated services that focus on all age groups and incorporate our native cultures and traditions.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to provide quality physical and behavioral health, education, and social support services that promote healthy lifestyles and individual responsibility in order to strengthen American Indian and Alaskan Native communities, now and for future generations. All services will integrate our native traditions, practices, and beliefs, be culturally sensitive, and respectful of American Indian and Alaskan Native tribal affiliation.

โœจ Celebrating a historic night at the 2024 Emmys! ๐ŸŒŸ Groundbreaking Indigenous representation took center stage as #ReservationDogs received a total of four nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series and a nod for Dโ€™Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series! ...๐ŸŽ‰

This milestone honors the incredible talent behind the first American series with all Indigenous writers and directors, and a predominantly Indigenous cast and crew. ๐Ÿชถ๐Ÿ’›

Congrats to @sterlinharjo and the entire crew!

Hereโ€™s to the stories that uplift our communities and the recognition they deserve! #Emmys #IndigenousExcellence #RepresentationMatters
