Native Hawaiians have always been invited to the National Indian Education Association conference, but this year marks the first time they are voting members, a change coinciding with greater recognition of sovereign rights of Native Hawaiians.

The week-long conference, which is being held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, included a powwow on Tuesday evening. Some 24 Native Hawaiians marched in the powwow's Grand Entry.
