Welcome

The Native American Program (NAP) provides student support services to Native students at Dartmouth.

The Native American Program collaborates with Dartmouth’s faculty and staff, as well as tribal communities, to assist Native students in their personal, social, intellectual and ethical development so they can become life-long learners and responsible leaders in our global society. We complete our work with high regard for the unique cultural experiences and perspectives of Native peoples.
