We also have two possible business ventures in research stages. The research is timely but important for determining areas of concentration for future SMDC projects.

NIEA 1992 Convention A r Huge Success The 1992 National Indian Education Association convention was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico on November 15-19, 1992. The convention featured a large variety of workshops covering Title V, JOM, educational legislative issues, higher ed, adult ed, and student motivational sessions. Keynote address was delivered by Mr. Peterson Zah, Chairman of the Navajo Nation. Mr. Zah encouraged "tribes to stress the government to government relationship in dealing with higher educational institutions. Generally, when Tribes sit down with these institutions, we are viewed as minorities. We are not minorities, we are sovereign nations." Chairman Zah further stated, "All Tribes need to actively support education. It's not enough for all tribes to verbally state that education is a top priority, they need to take an active and participory role. They need to establish Tribal scholarships. They need to carefully review and take action on legislation affecting education. Tribal governments also need to take an active role with their local school boards, PACs, and education committees, besides serving on Title V and JOM boards." Chairman Zah concluded his address with: "Education occurs at all levels. It involves the young and old alike, everyone needs to be involved." tmtm Chairman Zah addresses the NIEA Convention, Tribal News Briefs Fourth Annual Baby Fair A Well-Child Promotion FOR; Children ages newborn-4 and their parents WHEN: December 7, 1992 Where:Confederated Tribes Community Service Center TIME: 11:00 A.M-2:00P.M.
