Our Native American Heritage is a reflection on our past, the growth of our present and the opportunities of our future. The University of Arizona resides on indigenous homelands of the Tohono O’odham and the Pascua Yaqui people, and we recognize the 22 sovereign nations of Arizona. The unveiling of our new Native American Heritage cultural logo is part of our celebration of national Native American Heritage month throughout November.
The Native American Heritage cultural logo was developed by students, employees, cultural groups and alumni. Its distinct iconography includes artifacts and elements of nature that symbolize values held by our diverse tribes. They come together to form a common connection, the Wildcat brand mark. In honor of our Native American cultures and Native American Heritage Month, we’ve featured members of our incredible community, curated a Spotify playlist and shared upcoming cultural events for you to join. Skoden (Let’s go) Wildcats!
