The Native American Program (NAP) provides student support services to Native undergraduate students through one-on-one advising sessions and collaborations with Dartmouth's Faculty and Staff, as well as Tribal Communities across North America. The NAP aims to assist in students' personal, social, intellectual, and ethical development so they can become life-long learners and responsible leaders in our global society. Additionally, the NAP works closely with student committees to make possible important community events like Dartmouth College's Annual Powwow.
The NAP has a high regard for the unique cultural experiences and perspectives of Native peoples and considers this when working with students, colleagues, and the communities in which we exist.
The Native American Program will provide leadership for Dartmouth as it works to fulfill its founding mission to educate Native students. A nationally recognized program, we will work in partnership with Dartmouth and tribal communities to educate and empower Native students to be capable of addressing the social, political and economic needs of Native peoples.

We strive to make Dartmouth a respectful and welcoming environment where all cultural identities are celebrated.
