Native American Center

The Native American Center (NAC) serves as an academic and cultural resource center for Native American undergraduate students attending Fort Lewis College. As the NAC, we:

• Provide academic, cultural, social, and transitional support for undergraduate Native American students;
• Connect and refer undergraduate students to campus and departmental resources;
• Develop and promote diversity and inclusion programming in support of indigenous, Native American, American Indian, and/or Alaska Native cultures;
• Promote outreach with tribal communities and organizations;
• Serve as a central resource center for the Fort Lewis College community on Indigenous and/or Native focused areas;

Our overall Native American student enrollment averages 1,100 Native students each semester and within that a rich cultural diversity of 160+ tribal nations is represented. Fort Lewis College maintains a federal designation as a Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institution (NASNTI) as over 10% of our student body is Native American.
