OPB: Tribal leaders meeting at NCAI's convention in Portland

Wednesday, November 2, 2011  

"Native American tribal leaders from across the country are gathering in Portland this week.

The annual convention of the National Congress of American Indians will cover many issues, including the vote. With the 2012 presidential election approaching, activists are trying to mobilize native voters.

I spoke with Jacqueline Johnson Pata. She's Executive Director of NCAI, and a member of the Tlingit tribe in Alaska."
