Indigenous Culture Resource Center

The center also provides opportunities for all people to engage in an inclusive environment which fosters visibility, awareness and leadership through an Indigenous lens.

The center serves as liaisons between campus and the greater community to support the local Indigenous populations, raise awareness and visibility of Indigenous cultures, and create a shared understanding of Indigenous worldviews.
