Current initiatives
To honor ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ's first peoples and strengthen the bridge between their cultures and higher education, we will develop the Troth Yeddha' Park and an Indigenous studies center. As a statewide academic center with close connections to other ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ institutes, the Troth Yeddha’ facilities will be distinct from other establishments that celebrate specific ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Native cultures. The Troth Yeddha' Legacy initiative builds on ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ's decades-long history of service to rural and Native students through entities such as the Department of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Native Studies and Rural Development and the tribal management and Native arts programs.
