NAU Office Of Native American Initiatives

More than 1200 Indigenous students from 110 tribal nations are earning degrees at Northern Arizona University. Campuses are statewide, with the Flagstaff campus at the base of Doko’o’osliid —the San Francisco Peaks—homelands sacred to Native Americans throughout the region. The Office of Native American Initiatives is tasked with advancing NAU's mission to become the nation's leading university serving Native Americans. This site was established to share news and update you on our progress. Northern Arizona University sits at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, on homelands sacred to Native Americans throughout the region. We honor their past, present, and future generations, who have lived here for millennia and will forever call this place home.
