To start our 50th anniversary year strong in our American Indian Affairs, we are going to be having a Kickoff for the year on the day of Winter Banquet – Saturday January 4, 2014.
We’ll meet as one large group and then break off into teams, which will allow everyone to experience all different arenas of the OA-AIA world.
Newcomers to AIA can expect insightful group work sessions while retuning members can improve their performance and help guide others.
We want to have as much attendance as possible so that we can have a great year. So come out sing, dance, make regalia, and participate in ceremonies.
