-Beyond the classroom, the ISWG’s initiatives are strengthened through active participation in culturally significant events and collaboration with the broader Native American community in Hartford. In 2024, a highlight was the “Jingle Dress Project,” which showcased the healing traditions and land reclamation efforts of Indigenous women through the Ojibwe Tribe’s dance. This event also included a panel discussion spotlighting Native women leaders, emphasizing the intersection of heritage, leadership, and activism.  Participants have also engaged in trips to the New Britain Museum of American Art, fostering dialogue about Native representations in contemporary art. In addition, a hands-on workshop was hosted on campus with the Yootay Singers and the Mashantucket Pequot community drum group, promoting cross-cultural musical traditions.

 Some members of the ISWG have also served on Trinity’s Land Acknowledgement Committee. This committee aims to honor the Indigenous histories of the land on which Trinity resides, further reflecting Trinity’s growing commitment to supporting Indigenous students on campus and fostering a more inclusive academic community.
