On December 21, 2004, the South Dakota Secretary of State certified the Articles of Incorporation of the Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies and issued a Certificate of Incorporation to CAIRNS as a Nonprofit Corporation. Today CAIRNS commemorates the 16th anniversary of its incorporation, and thereby begins its 17th year of operation. The image above is a detail of the homepage of CAIRNS’s new website that we plan to launch before the coming spring.
