66th Annual Convention and Trade Show 

October 11-16, 2009

 

This is an election year for the National Congress of American Indians. We encourage all tribal leaders and members of NCAI to participate in the elections at the Annual Session in Palm Springs. NCAI is a great organization with a very important mission: to work in unity with Indian tribes for the protection of tribal sovereignty and treaty rights and to promote the welfare of Indian people. It is up to all of us to elect the members of the Executive Committee who will take on the responsibility to provide the leadership and ensure that this mission is accomplished.
