Message from Native American Cultural Programs

Hello NACP Community!

As guests on the land of but not limited to the Mashantucket Pequot, Eastern Pequot, Mohegan, Golden Hill Paugussett, Nipmuc, Schaghticoke, and Lenape peoples, the Native American Cultural Programs (NACP) at UConn is here to serve Native and Indigenous students. NACP welcomes all Native and Indigenous students, faculty, staff, community members and allies. NACP is here to serve our community, to help foster relationships with local tribal nations, and work towards building good relations between UConn and the land.

NACP members currently consist of Native and Indigenous scholars, artists, students, graduate students, faculty, youth community members. It is our hope that you will join our growing community and share your cultures, traditions, and histories with us. The Native American and Indigenous Students Association (NAISA) invites any and all undergraduate, graduate, doctoral students and faculty to join us in community this upcoming semester. Whether we are fostering dialogues, watching relevant movies and TV shows, or hosting events, we would love for you to join us!

As the Fall 2024 semester begins, feel free to reach out to our student staff members with any questions you may have! We cannot wait to see you and build community with you all in the fall. Go huskies!
