The National Indian Education Association (NIEA) announced the launch of the It Begins with Us campaign, a groundbreaking Education Sovereignty initiative, at the organization’s 54th Annual Convention and Tradeshow Opening Assembly in Albuquerque, New Mexico. NIEA is leading national movements to address the United States education crisis for all students. The organization recognizes that Native education is American education and that leading from Indigenous values benefits Native and non-Native students alike.
