Native American & Indigenous Peoples Initiative

The land that became the TCU campus has been Native Americans’ home for millennia. That’s important to know.

Because our campus sits on ancestral homelands of the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes who lived here for generations, the ground we walk on daily at TCU serves as a teaching tool for empathy, respect and understanding.

We’re developing programs to help Horned Frogs learn and respect the sovereignty and contemporary presence of Native American nations and the historical trauma of Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples.

This is how we work together to find a healing path forward.

“Don’t be afraid of history’s facts. Great nations, great people, take responsibility.”
