WHO

WE ARE

We are an inter-tribal organization comprised of UNT students who are Native American/American Indian/Indigenous identifying and our allies and friends. Joining the Native American Student Association does not require enrollment in a federally recognized tribe or CBID, just an open mind and excitement to learn.

OUR 

VISION

We see a future where Native and Indigenous students at UNT thrive - not only in their studies, but in their communities. Through our initiatives, our members grow in cultural knowledge, communication, and leadership, and develop skills to empower their relations after graduating. By fostering thoughtful projects with intent, not only do we reach Native and Indigenous student consciousness, but we create networks of understanding within our university and beyond.

Ruth T., Northern Cheyenne/Lakota

Being a part of NASA has been one the highlights of my college career. As a young indigenous woman in today's world, I feel like I've finally found a sense of community and a space where I feel like I can be heard and acknowledged.

NASA has helped me find my place at UNT. It's given me a sense of belonging and community; it's my family.

Deante M., Pima

NASA is a safe space for Native students and allies to connect spiritually, culturally, and in the community. I've been able to find a second family and others should join because it'll help them grow positively and meet friends that'll become family.
