NAU amplifies Indigenous voices
The influence of Native American perspectives and cultures is evident everywhere at Northern Arizona University, where we are dedicated to Indigenizing our campus and community. Faculty, staff, and students from many backgrounds bring ways of knowing to the NAU family that lead to action, answers, and expression on campus—and continue into the larger world as alumni. Here are a few of their stories.
“My NAU experience provided me with a community of fellow Native people to make me feel at home. I was able to relate to staff and students who looked like me. The Office of Indigenous Student Services has been a major support in giving me the guidance and encouragement that I needed.”
NAU Land Acknowledgement
Northern Arizona University sits at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, on homelands sacred to Native Americans throughout the region. We honor their past, present, and future generations, who have lived here for millennia and will forever call this place home.
