Supporting Native American and Indigenous Communities

In our efforts to address racism and create equity, it is imperative that we include the voices of Native and Indigenous peoples. Understanding the enormous contributions of Indigenous communities to the United States, the history of displacement and genocide by American settlers and the U.S. government, and ongoing discrimination, will bring us to a more truthful version of our history and allow us to work together to address current disparities in our communities. 

Each of us play a part in supporting Native and Indigenous communities. Whether you are seeking ways to actively support Native or Indigenous friends, neighbors and colleagues, or you identify as Native or Indigenous and seek educational resources, support or wish to report a bias incident, these resources were compiled for you to use in your exploration of this critical issue and to become a more proactive bystander. 

Students, faculty, and staff from across the University contributed materials to this page. Requests to add additional items can be sent to [email protected]. 

The resources below include off-campus resources that Columbia is not affiliated with nor explicitly endorses. This list is intended only to inform our community of available resources.
