Diversity

kaku-ixt mana ina haws

kaku-ixt mana ina haws (ina haws) represents the Indigenous people of the Americas and Pacific Islands. We strive to deconstruct colonial borders’ impact on Indigenous identities while also honoring the sovereignty of tribes. The Ina Haws provides a sense of home and community for Indigenous students that helps preserve their Indigenous identities while in college. We also provide educational opportunities to educate all about the regions' tribes.
