Turkistanian American Association is a cultural non-profit organization established in 1958. The organization strives to preserve and cherish Turkistanian customs and traditions. Our goals are to maximize the recognition of our culture, cultural heritage, and identity. We encourage our members to be involved in our community, and to establish and maintain a link between our community in both the United States and native land. Furthermore, our organization strives to acquaint the American public with the religious, cultural life, and traditions of Turkistan, especially Uzbekistan.
