The University of Arizona, as a Hispanic Serving Institution and as a Land Grant University, owes its establishing endowment to the Native Peoples of this region. It sits on the traditional homelands of the Tohono O’odham Nation and the Pascua Yaqui tribe, and benefits from the multilingual, multiethnic, and multinational community of the Sonoran Desert.
