Message from Akima Tandaksa, Chief Brian Buchanan
Welcome to the official website of the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana. On behalf of our tribal government, I extend my sincere thanks to all tribal members and visitors for taking the time to stay connected and engaged with our Nation. Your interest in our work, our people, and our culture strengthens the bonds that unite us, ensuring that our shared heritage and contemporary community continue to thrive.
It is a true honor to serve as Chief of the Miami Nation of Indiana. I take great pride in representing our people and advancing the mission of our tribal government with integrity and respect for those who came before us.
We invite you to visit this site often for updates on tribal business, cultural programming, and opportunities to participate in our community. Together, we continue to honor our past and build a strong future for generations to come.

Honor Fund
In 2024, friends of the Miami Nation of Indiana created the Honor Fund. The Honor Fund is based on Indigenous land tax programs across the country, which repair the long history of harm caused by colonization and support Indigenous efforts to sustain community and culture for generations to come.
The two most important ways to show solidarity with the Miami of Indiana are to contribute financial resources and to return Miami land.
