About the Fall Metro Indian Education Gathering The Metro Indian Education Gathering is a group of urban American Indian Educators that come together on a regular basis, 2-3 times a year to share ideas and discuss challenges while celebrating successes. We create a space for networking and access to people who can help navigate the rules and regulations governing American Indian Education programs. This group has been meeting since January 2013 but COVID discontinued our meetings. The group relaunched last year at the Minnesota Indian Education Association Conference on April 19, 2023 and had a Fall Gathering on September 26,2023.
