The Native American and Indigenous Alliance (NAIA) invites the community to celebrate the first 56 days of the semester on Thursday, Oct. 3, from 4–6 p.m. on the lawn at Cater Hall. The event will feature Danielle Fixico, instructor and artist at the College of the Muscogee Nation in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. Fixico’s work has been featured in the Tribal College Journal and publications from the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center and is used for the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. The Mississippi Choctaw Dancers will perform and demonstrate traditional cultural dances.

The event is free and open to all and is co-sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities.
