The Native American Alumni Chapter was established in the early 1990's. The purpose of the chapter is to bring together the Native American community, alumni and the University of Nevada by sharing the American Indian culture and heritage on the University campus through traditional events and athletic activities.
The Chapter coordinates the Mr. & Miss University of Nevada Reno Pow Wow for children ages 3-18 years of age. The Chapter believes that education is the key to success for native communities and they encourage youth and their families to experience the University though educational conferences and University sponsored events throughout the year.
