Earlier this week, former US Senator Byron Dorgan and the Aspen Institute celebrated the one year anniversary of the Center for Native American Youth. The March 6 reception, held in conjunction with the National Congress of American Indians’ conference, was attended by more than 200 tribal leaders, Indian advocates, members of Congress, and the Administration.
To commemorate Native American Heritage month this November, the Center for Native American Youth will host a roundtable luncheon event. The event will raise awareness of the history, sovereignty, and the current status of the American Indian and Alaska Native population.
We recently sat down with Senator Dorgan to talk about the establishment of the Center for Native American Youth, his new policy program at the Institute.
