About the Neum Native American Student Association
The Neum Native American Student Association (formerly the First Nations Indigenous Student Organization at Fresno State) works to bring awareness of indigenous culture by building upon the camaraderie of the indigenous communities of the Americas. They actively seek to raise social consciousness by creating an environment that is aware and understanding of First Nations. First Nations includes those directly connected to a sovereign nation prior to colonization; and in addition, those who support First Nations through participating in cultural, political, and social events such as the Annual Powwow.
