AIAI
The Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians (AIAI) is a Political Territorial Organization (PTO) established in 1969, to represent their seven Member First Nation communities at all levels of government.

Ultimately, we strive to increase the number of First Nations people entering into a health profession as their career goal. The successful applicants (2) will receive the $1000 Health Scholarship and honourable recognition by AIAI’s Grand Chief at the 2017 Annual General Assembly.
