Celebrating heritage and what's ahead 👇

For nearly 40 years, the Haskell Indian Art Market has brought Native artists, community members, and visitors together on Haskell’s campus. This year, more than 130 exhibitors are expected to participate, boasting traditional foods, beadwork, clothing, and more, and expecting approximately 30,000 visitors from the Lawrence area and beyond. The annual event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026.

The market began in 1987 as part of the Lawrence Indian Art Show before branching off to become an independent, Haskell-led event. Over the years, it has grown into an annual fall tradition that connects Haskell and the Lawrence community with Native artists from across the country. The event provides visitors with a unique window into experiencing Native art and culture while learning more about Haskell and the students who call it home.

Summer on campus, but make it a color palette🎨

The Memorial Stadium has stood at the heart of Haskell Indian Nations University for 100 years—not only as a home for athletics, but as a lasting reminder of what Native communities can accomplish when they come together.

100 years after its dedication, the Haskell Stadium and Arch Centennial Homecoming Celebration will honor the people whose generosity, service, and collaboration built not only a stadium—but a lasting legacy

Building connections through Indigenous education 🤝

Haskell Indian Nations University and Murdoch University are coming together to explore how Indigenuity —Indigenous ingenuity —can contribute to more sustainable, connected, and resilient futures. This partnership will support conversations and collaborations about Indigenous Knowledges, environmental science, and more-- creating opportunities for communities to learn from one another across continents.

Indigenuity at the forefront of new Murdoch-Haskell collaboration Murdoch University and Haskell Indian Nations University are launching a new partnership to explore how Indigenuity can help shape more sustainable, connected, and resilient futures through research, education and community-driven collaboration.

This summer, Haskell Indian Nations University’s Friday Facts series brought Indigenous voices to the forefront during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Presentations explored stewardship in different, but intertwined perspectives—caring for the community and the land. These presentations allowed students, faculty, and alumni to highlight the important pieces of Haskell—the people, the history, and the determination to protect this space.

Haskell is home to incredible storytellers 📝

Congratulations to our Haskell recipients of the Early Career Writing Award from the American Indian Culture and Research Journal-- we're proud to see your voices and talents recognized!

AICRJ is happy to announce our most recent recipients of our Early Career Writing Award!

Created in 2023, this award is provided to one essay or authorial collective that has crafted an article deserving of editorial support. Along with a modest financial gift, the bulk of the prize is developmental editing. Working closely with our Editor in Chief and editorial team, the authors will be provided pre-submission editorial attention to help bring the essay to its highest quality. The award does not require the authors to submit their essay to AICRJ. We hope our work together helps early career scholars find their footing in the world of scholarly publishing in a supportive editorial relationship.

Congratulations to Dr. Burghart for leading our first authorial collective. Over the next six months, we will be working with them on their essay about inherent authority of tribal nations to regulate airspace within tribal lands.
