LAS VEGAS, NV – Aristocrat is continuing its partnership with the National Native American Hall of Fame (NNAHOF) as a legacy sponsor of the organization’s 2026 Induction Ceremony Gala, scheduled for Nov. 21 at OKANA Resort & Hotel in Oklahoma City.
The annual ceremony recognizes Native American leaders and their contributions to contemporary history. Aristocrat has also supported an endowment effort to establish the Hall of Fame’s permanent home in Oklahoma City, dedicated to Native American history, culture and achievement.
“We are proud to continue our longstanding partnership with the National Native American Hall of Fame and recognize leaders whose achievements have strengthened Tribal communities and made a meaningful impact on society,” said Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming. “This partnership reflects our commitment to celebrating Native American excellence, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting opportunities for future generations.”
“We are grateful for Aristocrat’s continued partnership and commitment to our mission,” said James Parker Shield, CEO of the National Native American Hall of Fame. “Their support helps us honor extraordinary Native American leaders, share their stories, and inspire future generations to follow in their footsteps.”
The partnership is part of Aristocrat’s broader Native American relations efforts, which include support for higher education scholarships, workforce development and leadership initiatives, cultural preservation and community engagement programs. This year’s induction ceremony will take place during Native American Heritage Month.
