In October, following the release of FEMA’s first-ever National Tribal Strategy, the agency announced that Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma citizen Kelbie Kennedy will serve as the first ever FEMA National Tribal Affairs Advocate.

A three-day dedication event for the National Native American Veterans Memorial starts Friday. Tribes from across the country will be a part of the Native veterans procession on the National Mall. Rebecca Head Trautmann is the project curator for the memorial and is an assistant curator at National Museum of the American Indian.
