Aristocrat has renewed its partnership with the National Native American Hall of Fame (NNAHOF), returning as a Legacy Partner for the organization’s 2026 induction ceremony, scheduled for Nov. 21 in Oklahoma City.
The ceremony gala will take place at OKANA Resort & Hotel, where the organization will recognize Native American leaders for their achievements and contributions to society.
Aristocrat’s support extends beyond its annual sponsorship. The company has also contributed to the endowment effort to establish the Hall of Fame’s permanent home in Oklahoma City, which is intended to preserve and celebrate Native American history, culture, and achievements for future generations.
“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,” Toner said.
“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 forms part of Aristocrat’s broader Native American engagement efforts, which also include investments in higher education scholarships, workforce development, leadership initiatives, cultural preservation and community engagement programs.
The Nov. 21 ceremony will take place during Native American Heritage Month, which recognizes the histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native American, Alaska Native, and Indigenous communities.
Aristocrat highlighted that it remains committed to supporting its Tribal partners and communities through continued engagement and initiatives focused on cultural heritage and future opportunities.
