Heather Miller

Executive Director - American Indian Center

Heather Miller (Wyandotte Nation), executive director of the American Indian Center, also serves as a Chicago-based advocate for the American Indian community through an art-centered focus.

Heather leads with respect and understanding of older traditions but looks to bring new ideas and technology to highlight these traditions with a contemporary lens. Remaining respectful of and knowledgeable about these traditions and open to new ideas, Miller is able to navigate challenges and bring a diverse community together.

Heather merges the daunting task of being both a fundraising executive director and an advocate and leader of a cultural institution.
