The Abiayala* Working Group is made up of NAISA members who are committed to maintaining hemispheric Native American and Indigenous dialogues across the Americas and the Caribbean, emphasizing the importance of maintaining North-South relations in our scholarship and activism. In particular, we aim to create, facilitate and maintain accessibility for Indigenous academic as well as community voices and views from south of the settler US/Mexico border, to assure these perspectives continue to shape Native American and Indigenous Studies at large.
