OSU hosts American Indian Awareness Week events
An Oklahoma State University news release says the campus events and social media campaign focus on tribal sovereignty and student advocacy
The Center for Sovereign Nations and the Native American Student Association at Oklahoma State University are hosting American Indian Awareness Week, a series of events and a social media campaign focused on tribal sovereignty, according to an Oklahoma State University news release.
“It’s a chance to advocate for ourselves, because we’re not passive viewers of history; we’re actively participating,” said Jaden Waters, a CSN student leader. CSN Director Sky Rogers said the week aims to educate others about sovereignty by breaking it into “bite-sized pieces.” Events scheduled throughout the week include stickball, cornhusk doll making, the Miss and Mister American Indian OSU Pageant and an honoring ceremony, with activities taking place across campus.
