The American Indian Housing Initiative (AIHI) is a collaborative effort to adapt and deploy sustainable building technologies on American Indian reservations. Founded in 1998 at the University of Washington and now based at Pennsylvania State University, the American Indian Housing Initiative integrates courses, research, and outreach activities to foster mutually beneficial partnerships between universities and tribal nations. Efforts are currently centered on work with the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Eastern Montana. Working closely with tribal leaders, the Northern Cheyenne Housing Authority, and Chief Dull Knife College, AIHI plans to develop a sustained program in homeownership and economic development with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe.
