Local Indigenous Communities
Use the Native Land Digital map to find out which Indigenous nations shaped where you live today. Our campuses sit on the lands of several Siouan-speaking tribes including the Cheraw (or Saura), Keyauwee, Sugeree, and Catawba. The Cheraw, Keyauwee, and Sugeree are believed to have united with the Catawba community after increasing settlement and the Yemassee war greatly reduced their populations.
Culturally Responsive Teaching Resources
Resources from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction are available for teaching about Native Americans. Online and print resources are available on Thanksgiving, sports mascots, and a variety of other topics.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), held on November 20th every year, is a time to honor lives lost to anti-trans violence. Transgender people, and especially people of color, face much higher levels of violence than the population at large. These problems are not limited to adults; 1 our of 5 transgender students reported experiencing physical harassment at school in 2021, according to statistics from GLSEN.
Along with prejudice-fueled violence, transgender youth are at a much higher risk of suicide than their cisgender peers. According to research by The Trevor Project, more than half of transgender youth seriously considered suicide in 2022, with approximately 1 in 5 people making an attempt.
