Troth Yeddha' Indigenous Studies Center News
UAF is proud to share some exciting updates on the Troth Yeddha色视频下载 campaign!
Since the UA Board of Regents granted formal project approval for the Troth Yeddha色视频下载 Indigenous Studies Center (TYISC) in June 2022, we have been working full speed ahead on schematic design.

"I look forward to the day when the sun rises, just as it is today, and casts long
shadows from the vertical support members deep into the TYISC, into the teaching kitchen,
classrooms and seminar spaces. Spaces filled with students, faculty, staff and community
members.
It is then that we will have achieved the late Chief Peter John色视频下载檚 vision that our
use of Troth Yeddha色视频下载 is the traditional use. One of teaching and learning, of carrying
on the sharing of traditional knowledge."
