Dinner on Us (DOU) is administered by the Native American House (NAH) and is part of the Lunch on Us Series within Student Success, Inclusion & Belonging.
DOU is a one-hour program that features scholar- and practitioner-led workshops paired with a shared meal. Held twice monthly from September through November and February through April, DOU explores a wide range of Native and Indigenous-focused topics while offering participants meaningful opportunities to connect with peers and experts in a relaxed, conversational setting.
This DOU workshop features: Native American House Staff
Description: In many Indigenous worldviews, home is not defined by a single structure or fixed location. Rather, home-places emerge from a constellation of relationships (land-based, kin-based, ancestral, and cosmological) that both ground one’s identity and shape one’s responsibilities. Within this framework, the Native American House (NAH) becomes more than a physical space: it is animated through the cultural understandings and daily practices of its professional and student staff, who collectively expand what it means for NAH to serve as a “home away from home.”
