This newly conceived version will, instead, take a look backwards with a nod to the present. Each episode will feature stories about past events, programs, and people, as well as exclusive segments on NCAI leaders throughout the years and new developments and discoveries in the archival collections.Drawing on NCAI's rich digital and physical archival collections, it is our hope that you will return each month to learn more about the organization's 80 years of advocacy for Indian Country and, as a result, will also remain informed about what is happening at NCAI today.
