Thank you to our generous sponsors Lewis, Longman and Walker for making this event possible.
The commemorative 2023 American Indigenous Arts Celebration design draws upon cultural iconography of significance to the Seminole Tribe of Florida and to the tangata whenua (people of the land) of the Waikato Tainui region of Aotearoa (New Zealand). This weaving together of cultural symbolism represents the exchange of culture between indigenous peoples and the celebration of indigenous heritage at the AIAC.
