Luke Wood, president of Sacramento State, emphasized that Indigenous students often find themselves in classrooms without educators who fully understand their backgrounds, saying, 'there's a lack of reflection of them within the curriculum, a lack of spaces that center their identities and support their growth and development.' This initiative aims to address those gaps.
Wood articulated the vision behind the new Native American College, stating, 'We don't want to just have a program or a center; we wanted to have a whole college that's specifically designed to serve students who identify as Native,' highlighting the importance of dedicated resources and support.
