Welcome from the National Indian Education Association
Greetings NIEA Members, Advocates, Students, Teachers and Elders
On behalf of the National Indian Education Association, I welcome you to the NIEA website. Whether you are a student, parent, educator or elder,once you view these first few pages, you will come to know and recognize the essence of who we are and why our unique organization has been in existence since 1970.
From advocating on key policy issues to being on the verge of groundbreaking research on Native education, NIEA continues to lead the way in championing Native education. We believe that by building strong partnerships with Tribal and Native Communities, as well as creating alliances with partners who share a common vision, such as the Campaign for High School Equity, we can effectively impact and improve the opportunities provided to our students and families.
I invite you to peruse our website, use our resources, check us out on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and join the over 2,500 members of NIEA who care deeply about providing quality education to our Native children.
Quinton Roman Nose,
Cheyenne
NIEA Board President
