美洲原住民奧林匹克代表隊基金會的使命是希望為了後代子孫，能經由運動，來保護地球，使創造更美好的認知與更愉悅的團結。通過邀請美洲原住民回到自己祖先的雄偉高山來滑雪和表彰慶祝活動，使原住民的智慧之聲能清晰而強烈的再次被聽到。該組織為現存的不同文化做橋樑，因為不同的文化有不同的價值觀與重點，但是藉著滑雪、文化慶典、旅遊和共處的美好時光，來充實彼此，並建立互相尊重與讚賞。在滑雪勝地做高風險的滑雪運動，既可建立健康、自信、領導能力等的技巧與友誼的結合，還可以接觸到更多保留區外的教育、工作和就業機會。

NAOT''s Mission is to create better understanding and joyful unity through sports to help heal Mother Earth for our children. By inviting Native Americans back to their majestic ancestral mountains for skiing and honoring celebrations, the wisdom of Native Voices is again being heard clear and strong. Through creating a bridge between our co-existent but different cultures that have different values and priorities, we enrich each other, and create mutual respect and appreciation through skiing, cultural ceremonies, travel, and good times. High risk snow sports at ski resorts build health, self-esteem, leadership skills and bonding friendships, in addition to making educational, job and career opportunities more accessible outside the reservation.
