For information on the 2025 WIEA please follow this link WIEA Conference WIEA was established in 1985 by a group of concerned Indian Educators to carry on the efforts of the former Great Lakes Intertribal Council GLITC Education subcommittee. The GLITC Education Committee began in the early 1970s but was disbanded around 1983 because of a lack of funds. A group of concerned Indian Educators began meeting in 1984 and after a series of meetings during that year developed Bylaws and a mission statement. The group was formally organized in 1985 as the Wisconsin Indian Education Association.
