The 44th Annual National Indian Education Association Convention and Trade
Show was held this year in Rapid City, South Dakota from October 30 to
November 2. Teachers, administrators and policy makers came together to
teach, learn and continue building the road to sovereignty and
self-determination.

“The emphasis of the whole conference is with your education, to help your
