An Indigenous Retrospective: Honoring Native Community, Leadership, and Persistence at CU | November 19, 2026

As part of CU Boulder’s 150-year commemoration and Native American Heritage Month, the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies will present a retrospective centered on Native community, leadership, and persistence at CU. Throughout the day, we will bring together Native leaders from different generations to reflect on key moments and initiatives that have shaped the experiences of Native people at CU Boulder. Conversations will highlight the contributions of past Native staff and alumni, who helped establish support for Native undergraduate students, alongside the work of current Native faculty, staff, and students. Together, these conversations will help tell a more complete story of CU’s history—one that centers Native voices, experiences, and contributions. 

Location: Wittemyer Courtroom, Wolf Law Building, 2450 Kittredge Loop Dr, Boulder CO

Time: 9am-5pm MT
