ABOUT
100% Native American Owned
As a 100% Native American-owned firm, MLPA holds a unique position in the architecture industry. Native American-owned architecture firms are exceptionally uncommon—numbering in the dozens rather than the hundreds or thousands. Of the more than 100,000 licensed architects in the United States, only a very small fraction—well under 0.1%—are Native American. It is estimated that fewer than 50 licensed architects nationwide are enrolled members of a Native American tribe.
Through architecture, we believe in the art of shaping experiences. With over 20 years of experience, we see every space as an opportunity to inspire, connect, and resonate with those who inhabit it. Our approach combines thoughtful design, innovative solutions, and a deep understanding of the communities we serve. Founded on a commitment to excellence, our team of architects, designers, and visionaries collaborates closely with clients to bring their ideas to life. From concept to completion, we create spaces that are not only functional but also emotionally engaging—places that leave a lasting impression.
