Central Contact Center for Native Americans in Europe
Education Information Center for Europeans
Native Americans have been stationed in Germany since 1945. Far away from home they had get-togethers and hosted powwows that took place mainly on US Military installations, unnoticed by the German public.
Over the years, more and more Germans have taken part in their activities. Working hand in hand they organized cultural events, seminars with Native American guest speakers and powwows that were open to the public. In 1994, the Native American Association of Germany e.V. (NAAoG) was founded in order to maintain a meeting point and a first contact center over here in Germany.
The NAAoG is politically and denominationally neutral.
