The American Indian Student Council at CSULB has been coordinating AILOTT since 1979. In the past, AILOTT was a part of the Annual CSULB Pow Wow. Fortunately, however, due to its popularity, AILOTT has evolved into a separate program. The principal objective of this program is the promotion of higher education, particularly at CSULB, of American Indian youths.
The AILOTT Higher Education Conference is designed to bring together American Indian students in middle school, high school, community colleges, and re-entry programs to provide them with an awareness of culture, career and educational opportunities. We strive to enhance the opportunity for the community and campus to unite and work towards a better future for American Indians as a whole.
Reggae, Funk, Rock, Punk and Hip Hop have become active expressive agents for contemporary Native people. Our theme, "The State of Native America: Raps to Remember, Raps to Re-Present”, seeks to explore the evolution of Native Music as it continues to expand its dynamic reach into the 21st century.
AILOTT will feature: A workshop on admissions and financial aid A multi-generational panel discussion by Native composers/performers/producers who cross musical divides fostering new creative and critical Native music that amplifies the current tone of Native America. A performance by the Native Hip Hop troupe "One Nation" from South Dakota.
If you are interested in attending, please print and complete the Registration Form and Release Form and bring with you to AILOTT.
