The mission of AIBL is to increase the representation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in business and entrepreneurial ventures through education and leadership development opportunities.

AIBL is the only American Indian non-profit organization solely dedicated to empowering business students in the United States.  Our programs are designed to engage students in activities that stimulate, enhance, and expand educational experiences beyond traditional academic methods. 

All students are encouraged to participate in AIBL regardless of race, academic major, or career objectives.  AIBL was organized in January 1994 and was recognized as a 501(c)(3) in 1995 on the University of Montana's campus in Missoula as a result of the founder, and first Executive Director, Michelle Henderson's (Assiniboine) master thesis. 

The original idea evolved from concern expressed by many tribal leaders that recognized a critical need for educated, experienced members to assist with tribal economic development efforts.
