CSUN's American Indian Student Assn. was chartered in 1974 to coordinate academic achievement with cultural awareness and to enrich the community with a general understanding of American Indians. The recruitment, retention and motivation of American Indians to attend CSUN or any higher educational institution is an integral part of its purpose.
The group's activities is supported by the CSUN anthropology department and new American Indian Studies Program. For more information about the pow-wow or the American Indian Studies Program, call (818) 677-7314.
