The Superior Unit Award is presented to units who meet highlyenforced military standards in the areas of personnel, training and readiness. "The South Dakota Army National Guard makes up only 9/10ths of one percent of this nation's National Guard, but we earned 97 percent of the Superior Unit Awards for training year 2017," said Maj. Gen. Tim Reisch, adjutant general of the South Dakota National Guard. "This is yet another example of how the South Dakota National Guard stands head and shoulders above our contemporaries." In order to earn the SUA, units must achieve 95 percent in unit strength, monthly drill attendance, annual training attendance and weapons qualification. In addition to meeting these readiness goals, units must also achieve 90 percent in physical fitness tests and dutyqualified Soldiers. Unit admin and maintenance inspections also factor into award requirements. "We are a metrics-driven organization and paying close attention to the most important readiness metrics has earned 30 of our units the distinction of earning the coveted Superior Unit Award," said Reisch. The top award for the state went to Company C, 1-189th Aviation Regiment of Rapid City, which received the Eisenhower Trophy for the most exceptional SDARNG unit. The Eisenhower Trophy is named in honor of former General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower and awarded by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to the ARNG unit in each state rated the most outstanding during the training year. More than half of the SUA units are continuing consecutive years of training excellence - with six units receiving the award for the second time in a row, four units for a third straight year, four units for four consecutive years, four more for five consecutive years, and the 211th Engineer Company has earned the SUA six years in a row.

The conference will be held at the Mystic Lake Casino and Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota (outside Minneapolis) from October 8-11, 2018. The Bush Foundation is providing up to $75,000 in scholarship funding for eligible applicants from Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota or the 23 Native Nations that share the same geography. Scholarships will include registration for pre-conference workshops, travel and lodging. Pre-conference workshops take place on Tuesday, October 9 and conference sessions are scheduled Wednesday, October 10 and Thursday, October 11. More information and the application for the scholarships can be found on ATALM’s website - www.atalm.org. Applications must be received by June 21, 2018 at 11:59 PM CST. These scholarships are intended for staff members of a tribal archive, library, museum, historic preservation office, and/or language program, those that work with indigenous collections in a non-tribal cultural institution, currently enrolled students in a museum, library, or archival-related education program, or culture bearers in a tribal community who are actively involved in the preservation of traditional knowledge, practices, and/or culture. The conference features over 100 workshops, cultural site tours, and conference sessions that are specific to the needs of Native cultures. As the only conference of its type, it attracts more than 700 participants from throughout the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. With the theme of “For Our People: Past, Present, and Future”, this year’s conference honors notable Minnesota Natives for their work to preserve and advance indigenous cultures. Honorees include activist Clyde Bellecourt on the 50th anniversary of the American Indian Movement, Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Chairman Charlie Vig for his support of culture and other tribal communities, and Dr. Anton Treuer, an internationally renowned expert on cultural and language preservation and author of 13 books including Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask.
