It is our goal at the American Indian Center and SLICE to provide a platform where we can honor our Native American Indigenous communities and ensure that Indigenous representation is embedded in our university's identity. We believe in providing platforms like our annual Pow Wow where all can gather and partake in the celebration of Indigenous culture and traditions. In addition, we believe in providing opportunities for students and community members to learn more about Indigenous history, culture, traditions, and current issues that affect the Indigenous community.
