The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) has announced that the upcoming AISES Canada National Gathering will explore the theme “Innovation Rooted in Culture.”
According to the website, the 2025 conference graphics are inspired by this theme and reflect MJ Singleton’s (Ojibwe) vision, emphasizing the power of Indigenous peoples—not only in academics, scholarship, and professional fields but also in their connection to the land.
The Canada National Gathering is a platform for Indigenous STEM students and professionals to unite, network, and form lasting relationships across Canada and the continent.
This event will occur from March 6 to 8, 2025, in Toronto, Ontario.

On the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in STEM, celebrated annually on February 11, AISES hosted a virtual fireside chat featuring prominent voices in the field.
Participants included Sarah EchoHawk, AISES president and advocate for Indigenous representation in STEM; Karen Horting from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE); Dr. Tiffini Andorful from the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE); and Suzanna Valdez-Wolfe from the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).
EchoHawk has been working on behalf of Indigenous people for over 20 years. She has led AISES since 2013.
Horting is the executive director and CEO for SWE, a position she has held since 2014.
