National Congress of American Indians President Jefferson Keel delivers the State of Indian Nations address at the start of the NCAI Executive Council Winter Session. The address comes as Indian Country is watching a number of issues, including continued tribal economic development, threats to the Indian Child Welfare Act, concerns over pipelines and extraction industries on or near tribal land, and the potential for another federal government shutdown. Native America Calling will carry a recorded version of the address immediately following the live address from the Newseum in Washington, D.C. and will also carry comments from the congressional response.
