Students lead effort to recognize American Indian culture
The history, cultures and contributions of American Indian communities are being celebrated across the ASU community during American Indian Culture Week. The university-wide celebration includes various events that highlight American Indian student organizations and raise awareness about American Indian culture and heritage.
The event is organized entirely by ASU student leaders, who are working to cultivate a rich learning environment highlighting the progression and success of American Indian people.
“The American Indian Culture Week celebration is a great opportunity to raise awareness to the larger population of our current status,” said Justin Hongeva, facilitator of the student-run American Indian Council at ASU. “This is an opportunity to demonstrate resilience as a strong community and use education to empower our communities.”
