The
Native American Programs (NAP)
office is responsible for various activities all related to the
Native American community and culture. Activities include:
organizing cultural events for the CMU community, maintaining a
Native American resource collection, recruiting Native American
students, serving as a liaison with tribal communities, and
providing support services for any CMU student, but particularly CMU
Native Americans students. Annual cultural events open to the
public include Native American Heritage month in November and the
annual CMU pow-wow in the spring! This office exists in part
because of the long standing relationship that CMU has with the
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe is
an active sponsor of CMU athletics, various CMU scholarships, and
many cultural related activities.
