OUR VISION
We are students working together to take action and bring more empowerment to Indigenous People. We have an event planned for April 3-5, 2008, the Indigenous Empowerment Summit.
Our Mission is to promote awareness of sovereignty, leadership, and mentorship, and even opportunities, in all areas of academia, activism, business, entertainment and media, and to bring communities of Indigenous people's together. This unity will provide a platform for an open dialogue toward the progressive needs of our people. We hope to empower the students to look to the future, learn from mentors, and encourage relationships that will strengthen our indigenous network.
