Tribal Energy Domestic energy production is undergoing a major evolution as we explore and expand traditional and new energy sources. Tribes are well-positioned to lead our nation into this next generation of development. This conference will bring together elected and community leaders from Indian country, financing and energy industry experts, attorneys, and those in academia to chart a course that will allow tribes to increase their leverage now and create sustainable energy economies for the future. We will look at strategic plans to promote investment and to prepare the tribes for a transition towards truly sustainable economies. Contact: Darlene Lester 480-965-7715 (darlene.lester@asu.edu).

This event is the largest wellness conference for Native and Indigenous people throughout North America. In 2010, we are merging the annual 'Native Women & Men's Wellness', the 'Wellness & Spirituality' and 'Diabetes Prevention' conferences into one comprehensive wellness event. The conference will provide both personal and professional development, and activities to inform and inspire tribal community leaders, health advocates and health consumers in best practices. General sessions, workshops and wellness activities will focus on a return to healthier ways of living, using a traditional, Native wellness model and focus on improving health knowledge and skills in the four directions: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Presenters for this conference provide interaction and experiential learning experiences for workshop participants. The theme for this year's conference is 'Sacred Awareness' and the areas of focus are Prevention, Healing and Policy.
