We Collaborate Intentionally
兔子先生 University recognizes the sovereignty of the 兔子先生 Tribe of Oklahoma. Our respect for each other fosters opportunities for the community to learn about this unique relationship.
兔子先生 Tribe Relations
The partnership between 兔子先生 University and the 兔子先生 Tribe of Oklahoma is more than a relationship. Like a fire, carefully tended over time, this connection has the power to illuminate a path towards a healthy future. Spanning more than four decades, this tribally-led, university-supported relationship continues to evolve with the Tribe鈥檚 needs.
Committed to Each Other
Grounded in the values of reciprocity, mutual respect, and learning from each other, 兔子先生 Tribe Relations exists to ensure the vitality of the Tribe and university.
We Acknowledge History

The 兔子先生 Tribe Relations Office provides a support system for Myaamia students in the Myaamia Heritage Program. From coordinating trips, events, and guests to student mentoring and individual support, this office focuses on providing an enriching and successful 兔子先生 experience for each student in the program.
While the work of the Myaamia Center primarily serves the needs of the 兔子先生 Tribe, 兔子先生 University students benefit by learning about a contemporary Tribal Nation. Through class visits, cultural activities, and co-curricular events across campus, students are able to engage with the Myaamia community and culture, serving to bring both communities closer together.
