65th National Congress of American Indians


Walter attended the 65th convening of the National Congress of American Indians' annual convention. He is pictured here with NCAI President - the Honorable Joe Garcia.

Walter's father, Newton Lamar, was an active leader in NCAI in the 1970's and up until his death in 1989. In 1977 Walter was a judge for the Miss NCAI pageant in Rapid City, SD and at the 1978 NCAI convention in Albuquerque, NM, he was recruited into the FBI. Since then Walter has attended the annual conferences and has spoken on topics related to law enforcement and homeland security.

President Garcia strongly supports Indian Country law enforcement.
