Opened in April 2007, the FNECC is administered by the Office of Student Life. We are a central part of initiatives at IU Bloomington that have a long history of advancing excellence through the transformative power of educational programs, recruitment, and outreach for all students.
The mission of the FNECC encompasses four components:
Our space serves as a gathering place for Native American students—a central hub for the Native experience at IU Bloomington. This unique space allows students to feel valued and find a sense of unity on campus. Students discover a safe haven at the FNECC, where they are supported, welcomed, and given the tools, resources, and opportunities to explore their cultural heritage and establish important connections to IU Bloomington and beyond.
We offer unique activities designed to preserve and promote Native American culture and heritage. We also partner with some of the country’s most influential and respected tribal leaders and scholars to provide opportunities emphasizing Native American traditions, ceremony, and storytelling.
All Indiana University events, groups, activities, and educational, cultural, and historical observances welcome all IU students and other members of the Indiana University community.
