Haskell's Strong Legacy
From a tribal boarding school to a 4-year university serving
Native American students across the world
Haskell Indian Nations University (Kan.) is the premiere tribal university in the United States, offering quality education to Native American students. Located on a historic campus in Lawrence, Kan., Haskell offers both Associate's and Bachelor's degrees. Haskell’s student population averages about 1,000 per semester, and all students are members of federally recognized tribes.
Coming to Haskell gave me an opportunity to be with people who were like me as well, in a community where I felt respected and welcomed."
