"I want to thank the Creator for this beautiful day," NCAI President Brian Cladoosby began. "...for allowing me the privilege of representing Indian Country...and for providing the opportunity to honor our history and celebrate the promise of our nation-to-nation relationship...and when our President delivered his annual State of the Union address, it is fitting that we take this time to consider the transformation and change that is under way in Indian Country," President Cladoosby said. Each year, the NCAI President delivers his speech during the week that the President of the United States delivers the State of the Union.
