Launched in Fall 2016, the Native & Indigenous Affinity Group serves as a resource for Native and/or Indigenous members of Northeastern’s faculty, staff or student body to come together and converse.
The group uses its resources to provide support, spread awareness and promote thoughtful discussion between its members and allies.
For information regarding Affinity Groups, including the Native and Indigenous Affinity Group, please contact Lisa Susser, ODEI Manager – Network Engagement at l.susser@northeastern.edu.

This past October 9 the Boston campus’s Native and Indigenous Affinity Group hosted a virtual event, in collaboration with Oakland colleagues to celebrate and highlight the work of Native and Indigenous scholars who are Northeastern faculty. Three panelists presented on their work in three areas:
Indigenous Language Persistence. Why, How, and Where the Cherokee and Other Indigenous Languages Continue.
Tender Violence in U.S. Schools, And Its Origins in Missionary and Colonial-settler Education.
Designing Cultural Connection.
The First Annual Indigenous Resilience Event
This event held on October 3, 2019, included a gathering for women in sciences and a panel discussion with scholars who center their work on native peoples’ resilience through science, technology, and indigenous knowledges.
Thank you for attending the First Annual Indigenous Resilience Event! Photos from this event are coming soon. Stay tuned for more opportunities to engage.
