Now 35 years later, AMERIND is the only 100 percent Tribally owned and operated insurance provider serving Indian Country.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n\u201cAMERIND has grown and evolved over time. We now offer products and services one would have only dreamed of back in 1986.\u201d said Phil Bush, Chairman of the Board, Chehalis Tribe. \u201cI attribute much of our success to the mission and vision established by the original board of directors. AMERIND is successful today because we have not deviated from the goals and values set forth by these visionary leaders.\u201d\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nDerek Valdo, CEO, Pueblo of Acoma said, \u201c\u2019Tribes Protecting Tribes\u2019 is more than a tagline for AMERIND. It\u2019s the foundation for every business decision we make. This focus on and commitment to Indian Country is what makes us unique and what keeps us successful.\u201d\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/v80ny6i4olf10djuuv2xo3qi4l5au5ei?utm_source=Nafoa+Mailing+List&#038;utm_campaign=1bc9b2795a-newsletter-04252022&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_term=0_dcdb537bb2-1bc9b2795a-76098019&#038;ct=t(newsletter-04252022)&#038;mc_cid=1bc9b2795a&#038;mc_eid=15e6efc718\" role=\"button\">Read More in the NAFOA Navigator (pg. 122-123)<\/a>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2022\/04\/25\/nafoa-5-things-you-need-to-know-this-week-78\/dawsonhermanyhorses\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23410\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-attachment-id=\"23410\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2022\/04\/25\/nafoa-5-things-you-need-to-know-this-week-78\/dawsonhermanyhorses\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/25\/dawsonhermanyhorses.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dawson Her Many Horses\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Dawson Her Many Horses&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Dawson Her Many Horses.
