Indigenous Studies HUB

The Indigenous Studies HUB helps build community for Indigenous students, faculty, staff, and surrounding Indigenous communities here at UB.

We offer a variety of programming that looks to help cultivate a community in which Indigenous people feel welcomed. We look to serve all Indigenous people across campus while also spreading awareness to the UB community and surrounding areas. Here are some examples of recent events hosted by the Indigenous Studies HUB:

• Hiking day with students at Letchworth State Park
• Attending a Buffalo Bandits game
• Indigenous Outreach Day for local students to see UB's campus
• Annual Storytellers Conference
• Annual Indigenous graduation social
• Cornhusk doll workshop
• Ribbon skirt workshop
• Indigenous alumni panel
• Beaded frame workshop
• Silverwork workshop
• Social dance workshop
• Film screenings

Our HUB also aims to contribute to Indigenous faculty and student retention and success by providing a locus of support on campus. It houses Indigenous staff dedicated to the wellbeing of Indigenous students. The Indigenous Studies Department will foster community building among Indigenous students and scholars on our campus, providing space, services and opportunities for dialogue, interaction, and networking.
