CalNAGPRA University Statement
Sent: June 29, 2023
The university accepts the findings described in the State Auditors Report and is committed to honoring and respecting the first inhabitants of this land. We will continue working with Tribal descendents to fulfill our obligations under CalNAGPRA. We are dedicated to intentional and authentic relationship-building and consultation with local tribal communities.
We continue to make progress in our efforts to support native and indigenous students, faculty and staff on our campus with the establishment of the Native American Indigenous Student Success Center (NAISSC), and the hiring of the Centers first program director. We also deeply appreciate the leadership of the Gathering of Academic Indigenous and Native Americans (GAIN), and we will continue to deepen these relationships, which bring so much value to our campus community.
