Every year, the NIEA Convention brings together educators, Tribal leaders, students, researchers, partners, and advocates from across Indian Country with one shared purpose: strengthening Native education.
It’s a place to learn from one another, build lasting relationships, celebrate Native cultures, and discover new ideas that can make a difference in your classrooms, schools, and communities.
Whether you’re attending for the first time or returning to reconnect with colleagues and friends, you’ll find a community that welcomes you.
