ASU News: Tribal Nations Tour heads to San Carlos Reservation

The Tribal Nations Tour brings ASU students and staff to Arizona’s Indian lands, where they learn about Native cultures and share in healthy activities. Offering a meaningful cultural exchange, the tour provides opportunities to interact with tribal members, encourage higher education and wellness, and work together on community service projects.

“The San Carlos Apache Tribe is pleased to host ASU American Indian students, student athletes and staff on June 28-29, 2014, at San Carlos to provide two days of fitness and community service activities in conjunction with our 2nd annual Summer Sports Camps organized and facilitated by the Boys and Girls Club of the Apache Nation,” said Terry Rambler, Chairman, San Carlos Apache Tribe.

Bringing programs to the reservation that benefit youth and emphasize healthy lifestyles is one aspect of a memorandum of understanding that was signed earlier this month between ASU and the San Carlos Apache Tribe. The agreement will also bring a college to the tribal nation.
