Countdown to Our 20th Anniversary Celebration!

Oct 22, 2009 | Archives, Blog

It’s less than a week away, and we hope to see you there. The Empress of Soul, Ms. Gladys Knight, will be performing, and we will be joined by people from across the nation that support American Indian education.

We hope you will join us to celebrate how far we have come–the American Indian College Fund has provided more than 70,000 scholarships! But we also hope you will join us because we still have a lot to do–more than 25% of American Indians live below the national poverty line, and an education is the proven way to lift entire communities out of poverty.

As we embark on our next 20 years of educating the mind and spirit, we hope you will join us. For ticket and event information, visit our web site.

Uplifting Native Nations and Voices on Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Say Our Names

Words and names have power as do the places and peoples that use them. We hope you will join us in celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day, reflecting on the experiences of our nation’s Indigenous Tribes, while working to strengthen ties between us all as relatives. We will continue to use the words of this blog to uplift Native voices, because we’re Indigenous every day.
