Harvard University Native American Program

Programs

Community Events

As one of the University’s Interfaculty Initiatives, the Harvard University Native American Program is uniquely situated to bring together students, faculty, and staff from all parts of the University as well as friends and community members from peer schools and the surrounding Cambridge/Boston area. HUNAP offers a series of events throughout the year designed to bring together members of the community.

Our events range greatly, from informal social gatherings to our community dinners to our annual Powwow every spring. Events are designed to further the mission of our program by celebrating the spirit of community on campus and providing opportunities for attendees to develop academic, professional, and personal networks.

Colloquia

The HUNAP colloquia series was created to provide a forum for students, faculty, and staff to share their research on Native and indigenous issues, build awareness of Native perspectives throughout the University, and promote scholarly work and curriculum development at Harvard on issues relevant to Native Americans. Our colloquia topics are fluid and reflect the range of scholarship being produced by our community. Previous topics include Native health issues, Native art, federal Indian law, and Native history.
