Haskell Indian Nations University

Haskell Indian Nations University spans across a campus with twelve National Historic Landmark buildings, including a cultural center and educational facilities for Native American students.

Founded in 1884 as United States Indian Industrial Training School, the institution transformed from a residential boarding school into a university offering associate and baccalaureate degrees.

The campus houses the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum containing the Rinehart Collection, along with the Indian Leader, the oldest Native American student newspaper.

Students from federally recognized Native American tribes attend without paying tuition through funding from the Bureau of Indian Education as part of U.S. Trust Responsibility.

The Haskell Medicine Wheel Earthwork, constructed in 1992, marks significant astrological points and represents indigenous spirituality through its symbolic design.
