In 2017, The American Indian Society of Washington, DC presented its most prestigious award to Joanne Shenandoah, "a Native American whose life’s work has led to the improvement and empowerment of Native Americans through social, political, legal, environmental or educational initiatives."

Shenandoah is a founding board member of the Hiawatha Institute for Indigenous Knowledge a non-profit higher learning educational facility that is based on Iroquois principles. In 2014 she served as Co-Chair for the Attorney General’s National Task Force of Children Exposed to Violence for the Department of Justice.

She has performed for noted world leaders including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Huston Smith, and Mikhail Gorbachev, and at The White House, Carnegie Hall, 5 Presidential Inaugurations, The Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica (for the canonization of the first Native American St. Kateri Tekakwitha), Madison Square Garden, and The Parliament of the Worlds' Religions, among others.

Joanne's recording, “A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison” (2017) is the compelling story of a colonial girl who was captured by Shawnees in 1755 at the outset of the French and Indian War. Mary Jemison, aged 12 at the time, was adopted by two Seneca women and spent the rest of her long life (she lived to be 90) with the Iroquois.
