AMERIND Risk Management Corporation is a multi-tribal federal corporation. Tribes united to create AMERIND in 1986 to protect themselves, their treasuries and their enrolled members from unforeseen or catastrophic financial loss.
AMERIND is owned by a vast majority of federally recognized tribes-keeping their money working in Indian Country (more than $300 million since 1986) rather than profiting non-Indian organizations. Utilizing sound risk management principles, including risk sharing and education, AMERIND protects life and property from the devastation of fire, natural disasters and other unforeseen events.
Hiring of AMERIND employees is subject to 7(b) of the Indian Self-Determination Act. (25 U.S.C 450e(b)), which requires that, to the greatest extent feasible, preference and opportunities for training and employment shall be given to native Americans and Alaska Natives.
