Native American Affairs has been established at Eastern Washington University to provide leadership, guidance and support for Native American initiatives, organizations, and programs that align with the Tribal Nations Advisory Council (TNAC) and Eastern Washington University’s strategic plan.
The vision of the Office of Native American Affairs is to develop and maintain respectful and collaborative relationships between tribal sovereign nations, Urban Indian communities, and Native American organizations. We work to develop, promote, and facilitate protocols of reciprocity as they relate to tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
