Indigenous Culture Resource Center

The Indigenous Culture Resource Center, located on the first floor of Swenson Hall (Swenson 1030), is a gathering place and resource center for intercultural learning, exchange, and support with an emphasis around First Nations and Indigenous lifeways and experiences. 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.

Collaboratively, the ICRC and the Native Nations Student Organization work with other departments on campus to provide various programs and events centered around Indigenous cultures and languages.  (The university also provides a minor in Indigenous Studies.)
