American Indian Council of Architects and Engineers

The American Indian Council of Architects and Engineers (AICAE) is a non-profit professional association of Native American-owned businesses in the fields of architecture, engineering, interior design, and landscaping design. The council's goal is to advance these businesses and professionals and increase their recognition. The council publishes a newsletter, directory, and holds conferences semiannually.[1]

The AICAE was co-founded by Louis L. Weller, a Caddo/Cherokee architect from Shiprock, New Mexico.[2]

The initial officers were Chairman Neal McCaleb, Vice-Chairman Denby Deegan, and Secretary-Treasurer Leon W. Shirley. Other charter members included Charles Archambault, Ernest Echohawk, Carl Dupris, Dennis Numkena, Leroy Brown, and Wakon Redbird.[3]

There is an annual conference held most recently in September 2019 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[4]
