UW students host tribal school students in Seattle

More than 90 elementary school students from three tribal schools spent a day at the University of Washington late last month, part of an unusual collaboration between college students and the tribes to inspire younger students to think about going to college.

The program, Native @ UW, was sponsored by the UW’s student government, Associated Students of UW (ASUW). Fifth- and sixth-graders from Wa He Lut Indian School in Olympia, Yakama Nation Tribal School in Yakima and Lummi Tribal Schools in Bellingham came to Seattle for the program.
