Check out photos from the
2013 Northland College Spring PowWow.
Established in 2011, the Native American & Indigenous Culture Center at Northland College is an extension and successor to the College's long-standing Native American Studies Program.
Current goals of the Center are to:
- promote awareness and understanding of Native American and indigenous cultures and languages;
- support activities that preserve and further develop the cultural traditions, ceremonies, languages, and arts of Native American and indigenous cultures;
- serve as a resource center and community gathering place for research, discussions, presentations, and social events;
- deliver college access and readiness programs for Native American and indigenous youth;
- facilitate cultural exchanges of ideas and experience that foster meaningful connections and increase the capacity of the College and the broader community to address critical and emerging issues.
Financial support for the Center is provided by a generous grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation.
