Pacific University hosted a popular five-part series of tribal leader lectures in late 2011, featuring representatives of local American Indian tribes and key issues, such as tribal law, treaty rights, tribal renaissance and gambling, tribal jurisdiction and environmental issues. A collaboration between Pacific’s Office of Diversity, Center for Gender Equity and Tom McCall Center for Policy Innovation, each session drew 30 to 40 participants. The series concluded with a Ceremony of Hope featuring tribal music and dance.
