UW Native Life and Tribal Relations
Welcome to the University of Washington Native Life and Tribal Relations website. The purpose of this site is to centralize the Native-focused resources available on the University of Washington’s campus in Seattle. We understand the University can be a challenging environment for those coming from indigenous communities and difficult to navigate for anyone who is new to the campus.
We also recognize the need to provide guidance for students to find the academic, social, and cultural support systems available to them. This site is dedicated to serving those needs of Native students, staff, faculty and communities.
Did you find this site helpful? We welcome feedback from the community. Please contact Ross Braine at uwnative@uw.edu with any compliments or suggestions.
