Circle of Nations Indian Association (CNIA)

Organization Information Officer Information

Name: Circle of Nations Indian Association (CNIA)
Website: http://www.freewebs.com/cnia-umm/
E-mail: ummcnia[at]morris.umn.edu
Meetings: Tuesdays @ 6PM in MSP Lounge every week
Description: CNIA is an organization dedicated to increasing awareness within UMM and the broader Morris community of American Indian cultures and issues. But more importantly, we are here to help Indian students find a sense of community in which they can practice their traditions while gaining a college education. We also hope that our Indian and non-Indian members will find an opportunity to learn about other tribal and cultural ways of life from their fellow members. We have meetings every week, all are welcome to attend both Native and non-Native. Faculty, staff and others are also welcome. Meetings are usually held in the Multi-Ethnic Resource Center's Lounge. We are known to mix these "business" meetings with fun things like pot-luck style meeting (and Fry Bread) as well as do a "beading" meeting, so please stop by!
