Since 2015, TCU’s Native American and Indigenous Peoples (NAIP) Initiative has built relationships with tribal nations and organizations across the metroplex, state and country through workshops, lectures and other campus activities. One of the initiative’s goals is to develop curriculum informed by and in dialogue with Native communities so students learn from – rather than about – Native Americans.
Wendi Sierra, associate professor of game studies in the John V. Roach Honors College, was appointed the new Native American Nations and Communities Liaison, a leadership role for the NAIP Initiative formerly held by the retired Scott Langston, a faculty member who was instrumental in founding the initiative.
