Land grant history panel with President Schulz, Tribal Liaison Zoe Higheagle Strong, and Tribal leaders

The Office of the President and the Office of Tribal Relations cordially invite you to a livestream panel discussion on April 11 at 4 p.m., focusing on Washington State University’s land grant history and its relationship with regional Tribes.

Panelists will include President Kirk Schulz, Vice Provost for Native American Relations and Programs/Tribal Liaison to the President Zoe Higheagle Strong (Nez Perce Tribe), and Tribal leaders from the Native American Advisory Board to the President. These esteemed board members represent the 14 Tribes with whom WSU has signed a memorandum of agreement, aimed at strengthening the relationship between the university and the signatory Tribes at the highest levels, and ensuring Native American students are provided with intellectual, academic, cultural, and social support to cultivate a sense of belonging and nation building at WSU.

The panel will provide a follow-up discussion on Dr. Higheagle Strong’s Common Reading Presentation titled “Addressing WSU’s land-grant history and the appropriation of Native lands: Exploring a more equitable future” from this past fall. The panelists will discuss reconciliatory priorities as we move forward.

Please view the panel discussion via Zoom.
