AIANTA Regions
AIANTA board members represent members from the 15 AIANTA regions. Check our AIANTA Board of Directors page to see who represents your region.
AIANTA’s Apache Dancer Thumb Drive was designed by NSRGNTS, led by Native couple Votan Ik (Mayan/Nahua) and Leah “Povi” Lewis (Pueblo/Dine’). Although they both come from artistic backgrounds, together they’ve developed some of the most iconic images addressing an array of topics across Indian Country.
Among their most recognized images is their collaborations on “Native Kawaii” art. These works lend a voice to native youth and children who often have very little or no representation in popular culture. These characters represent many different indigenous nations and positively portray indigenous people as a whole.
