Title:
NAISA Bridge Photograph, 2019
Description:
The Native American/Indigenous Student Alliance (NAISA) was founded in 1992 by Dana Chavis (Lumbee) as the Native American Student Coalition. Leaders and members of NAISA have been activists and advocates for Native students at Duke. Their work has led to their own affinity space in the Bryan Center and the hiring of Native professors. NAISA regularly holds gatherings for its members throughout the year, including the annual powwow and Native American Heritage Month events. On November 5, 2022, NAISA and the Nu Chapter of Alpha Pi Omega, Duke’s indigenous sorority, hosted Duke’s first Indigenous Arts Showcase & Gala to celebrate Native culture and art.
