AMERICAN INDIAN
RECRUITMENT (AIR) PROGRAMS
SERVING THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INDIAN COMMUNITY FOR OVER 33 YEARS
TRIBAL LAW DAY EVENT
May 1, 2026
Join us for the 4th Annual Tribal Law Day at San Diego State University, held in collaboration with the Department of American Indian Studies.
Traditionally observed on May 1st, Law Day is a national commemoration celebrating the rule of law and promoting a deeper understanding of the legal system, sponsored by the American Bar Association. While this day often highlights rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution, our focus centers on something even older—Tribal law.
Indigenous communities have long upheld rich, culturally rooted legal systems that continue to guide and govern Tribal nations today. This event creates space to honor, explore, and discuss those traditions and perspectives.
📍 Location: San Diego State University
🕘 Time: 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
For more information or to RSVP, please contact Dwight at info@airprograms.org.
We hope to see you there!

About AIR Programs
Our mission is to promote higher education among the Native youth community.
Created in 1993, the AIR Program has continuously served our San Diego American Indian community and Native youth through our after-school mentoring programs. In 2002, the AIR program was incorporated as a non-profit organization in response to low educational attainment among our Native youth. We have developed our mission as "the promotion and success of American Indians within education."
The AIR program uses a “Teaching through Culture” model where Native youth learn about their culture and issues affecting their tribal communities. They contemplate the root causes and deliberate possible solutions with the help of college mentors (native and non-native) on many of these issues.
