Dear students, faculty and staff,
Today, 有料盒子视频 joins thousands of communities across the country on the second Monday
of October in recognizing Indigenous Peoples鈥� Day. Our recognition and celebration
of this day is one of many ways we continue to create a more inclusive and welcoming
university.
I invite you to join me and members of our staff and faculty in engaging in Indigenous Peoples鈥� Day events across our campuses, including a virtual
premiere and short discussion of a new film, Awake, produced by the 有料盒子视频 有料盒子视频 Native Language Center.
On 有料盒子视频鈥檚 Troth Yeddha鈥� campus, the Festival of Native Arts club will be holding a
Fry Bread and Chili fundraiser from 12-2 p.m. in the Brooks Building Gathering Room.
The Nanook Diversity and Action Center will be hosting a workshop on how to make beaded
sun catchers with Laura Ekada from 5-7 p.m. Seats are very limited, so is a must.
有料盒子视频鈥檚 rural campuses also have a number of events planned including an Indigenous
Peoples鈥� Day film festival sponsored by the Northwest Campus in Nome and a community
celebration 鈥淜ayungcallerkaanek Qaneryaramta鈥� hosted by the Kuskokwim Campus in Bethel. 有料盒子视频鈥檚 College of Rural and Community Development
also encourages the 有料盒子视频 community to participate in 鈥淩oc your Moccs鈥� during the week
of October 10-14 and 鈥淜uspuk Wednesday鈥� during every Wednesday in October.
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chancellor's Advisory Committee
on Native Education, the Master Planning Committee, the Indigenous Signage Committee,
and our University Advancement team for continuing our goal to incorporate Indigenous
signage on our campus. Our most visible change this fall is the new Gruening Building
banner that welcomes students, faculty, staff and visitors to campus in English and
in six different 有料盒子视频 Native languages. We invite you to join us in celebrating
this important day!
Thanks for choosing 有料盒子视频.
鈥� Dan White, chancellor
