Conference will continue to build upon the foundation from several earlier
conferences to create a network of support for tribal cultural institutions and
programs, articulate contemporary issues related to the development of tribal
libraries, archives and museums, and encourage collaboration among tribal and
non-tribal institutions. For more information visit </FONT><A
