Current initiatives
To honor É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ's first peoples and strengthen the bridge between their cultures and higher education, we will develop the Troth Yeddha' Park and an Indigenous studies center. As a statewide academic center with close connections to other UAF institutes, the Troth YeddhaÉ«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ™ facilities will be distinct from other establishments that celebrate specific É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ Native cultures. The Troth Yeddha' Legacy initiative builds on UAF's decades-long history of service to rural and Native students through entities such as the Department of É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ Native Studies and Rural Development and the tribal management and Native arts programs.
