The NAECC acknowledges the traditional homelands of the Woodland People which Purdue University is built upon and we honor and appreciate the Bodéwadmik (Potawatomi), Lenape (Delaware), Myaamia (Miami), and Shawnee People who are the Indigenous caretakers of this land.
Welcome from the many tribal nations represented at the Native American Educational and Cultural Center! The NAECC is home to Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students, faculty, and staff representing over 65 Indigenous nations at Purdue University. Established in 2007 through student and campus advocacy, the NAECC is instrumental in nurturing student learning and success and provides educational opportunities for the campus community to learn about Indigenous cultures.

"…I would not have survived graduate school and being in a new environment, if it weren’t for the support and guidance from the NAECC and it’s community."
