Native American Initiatives

Native American Initiatives (NAI) at Notre Dame is designed to foster intellectual knowledge of and cultural respect for the Native American and Indigenous experiences and to learn from Native communities as part of our learning goals at the university. NAI collaborates with divisions and departments across campus to offer Native American programming that will enrich the entire campus and offer opportunities to learn more about histories that often go un-told or undertold.
