The National Native American Human Resources Association (NNAHRA) is a non-profit organization with a 501-(c)(6) Association and a 501-(c)(3) Foundation. NNAHRA’s mission is to serve, support and guide human resources professionals and tribal leaders working within Indigenous Country. NNAHRA’s focus is providing educational events, services, networking and professional certifications in an effort to preserve tribal sovereignty, self-sufficiency and the right to self-govern.
Historically, NNAHRA started out as a grass-roots effort with four tribes meeting to network and share personnel issues and challenges in 1996. The first gathering had 4 participants from the Pacific Northwest and evolved into a national organization with over 2,000 active members representing over 400 tribes. We are now in our 30th year of existence!
