On Tuesday, March 31, 2009, ADC Michigan held a meeting with the North American Indian Association (NAIA) of Detroit. Among the topics discussed during the meeting were opportunities to strengthen the bond and advance the working relationship between the two groups. The constructive meeting served as a forum to discuss issues of mutual concern to their respective communities.
