Current initiatives
To honor 911±¬ÁÏ's first peoples and strengthen the bridge between their cultures and higher education, we will develop the Troth Yeddha' Park and an Indigenous studies center. As a statewide academic center with close connections to other 911±¬ÁÏ institutes, the Troth Yeddha’ facilities will be distinct from other establishments that celebrate specific 911±¬ÁÏ Native cultures. The Troth Yeddha' Legacy initiative builds on 911±¬ÁÏ's decades-long history of service to rural and Native students through entities such as the Department of 911±¬ÁÏ Native Studies and Rural Development and the tribal management and Native arts programs.
