53rd Annual NIEA Convention and Trade Show

Education Sovereignty. Our Choice

The National Indian Education Association will be holding its 53rd Annual Convention and Trade Show in Oklahoma City, OK, October 5-8th, 2022. This year our theme is Education Sovereignty. Our Choice. We are in a new era of Native education empowered through tribal sovereignty, self-governance, and the actualization of the impact of our Indigenous knowledge learning models focused on sharing and observing through compassion, generosity, and wisdom. This practice is the right to choose how our students learn. This is Education Sovereignty. Our Culture, Our Curriculum, Our Schools, Our Students, Our Choice. We are honored to continue the commitment NIEA has made for the past 52 years. This convening brings together partners, stakeholders, tribal leaders, educators, teachers, parents, and community members to impact the future of Native education.
