The NAWA Annual Gathering and Tradeshow is organized by the Native American Water Association, a national non-profit 501(c)6 organization dedicated to providing tribal water and wastewater operators, managers, utility commissions, and tribal leadership with training and technical assistance. The event brings together tribal utility personnel from across Indian Country — including tribal water and wastewater departments, tribal casino personnel, and federal and state agency representatives — for professional development and a tradeshow. Core themes include strengthening tribal sovereignty and self-determination, protecting health and the environment in Indian Country, and advancing operations, maintenance, and management of drinking water and wastewater systems. The South Point Hotel Casino & Spa in Las Vegas is the established recurring venue for this gathering.
