A history gathering called "Railroads in Native America (RNA)" which will be the second gathering held May 19-21, 2022 in the Ogden Union Station. The first gathering was in Omaha, Nebraska in 2019.

2022 RNA website: https://indian.utah.gov/events/railroads-in-native-america/

RNA has been organized by the Utah Div. of Indian Affairs, and is sponsored by all of Utah's tribes and 20 history related organizations. RNA organizers will also be offering remote internet access for those who add their names and emails to the "I'm interested list."

The program includes Native American scholars (Native Am. & non-Native Am.), from around the United States, and there will be various types of nontraditional presentations. This gathering is free of charge; however they have limited seating.

The subject may seems remote but in short we are addressing Native American and non-Native American interactions, for over a 160 plus years, within predominantly Native American perspectives.
