Natives at Penn (NAP) is Penn's Native student organization representing Native American, Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native, and Indigenous students, dedicated to increasing awareness of Native & Indigenous culture, history, and contemporary issues, while enhancing the visibility of Native & Indigenous students on campus, which is on Lenape Land.
We:
- Connect Native students, staff, alumni, and allies through events such as Penn's annual Powwow, our Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration, and other outings and activities that build cultural awareness and strengthen community
- Advocate for more academic and professional resources, work with other intercultural groups to celebrate our intersectionalities, and host social gatherings that spark joy.
NAP is open to everyone! Whether you have been highly immersed in your culture, are still learning or wanting to learn more about your heritage, or don't identify as Native but want to be an ally, we are excited to welcome you all!
