North Dakota Native American Veterans Stand Down Event
The 2nd annual statewide North Dakota Native American Veteran Stand Down was held on June 10 - 11, 2024 at the Sky Dancer Casino & Resort in Belcourt. This two-day event was dedicated to bringing as many supports together in one location with the idea to connect Native Veterans with the resources they may need.
