VISION
The Native American Program will provide leadership for Dartmouth as it
works to fulfill its founding mission to educate Native students. A
nationally recognized program, we will work in partnership with Dartmouth and
tribal communities to educate and empower Native students to be capable of
addressing the social, political and economic needs of Native peoples.
MISSION
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.
PRIORITIES
- We support institutional recognition of Native forms of knowledge and work
to help students, faculty and staff understand the ways Native forms of
knowledge can interact with academia.
- We assist students in building their scholarly and leadership capacity by
affirming and strengthening the forms of leadership Native students provide to
Dartmouth, tribal communities and the world.
- We strive to make Dartmouth a respectful and welcoming environment where
all cultural identities are celebrated.
