- Native American House: Dinner On Us
Speaker: Dr. Jean Mendoza
The Native American House (NAH) invites Dr. Jean Mendoza to share the story behind the creation, meaning, and symbolism of the NAH logo, designed by her late husband, Durango Mendoza (Muscogee Creek/Mexican). The Director of the NAH will join Dr. Mendoza to highlight the significance of Durango’s work on developing best practices to support Native students. To complement this program is Juxtapositioned, a temporary exhibit showcasing some of Durango’s artistic pieces.
Dinner will be served. Make sure to bring your i-Card before you have dinner with us!
