It was a region-wide National Leadership Seminar weekend on the Rutgers campus, with a couple of extra events (including, I recall, a show) that made it sort of like a mini-NOAC. But there were no Native-American-related activities at all. On that front, the big event in 1987 was the National Pow-Wow out in Powell Wyoming. Activities there were split into three tracks: Indian Affairs, Ceremonies, and (I believe) Shows. 1987 was the first year that the OA really started having National events in the years between NOACs, and was the second year of the last National Chief to serve a two-year term.
