On Wednesday night, CMU's Office of Indigenous Affairs hosted its first Kinomaagewin Celebration for the Spring 2025 graduating class. Featuring a musical performance and uplifting speech, the night was dedicated to honoring the graduates.⁠
⁠
Kasey Perez, the director of the Office of Indigenous Affairs, said that this celebration for the Indigenous graduates was the first of its kind on CMU’s campus.⁠
⁠
“We have students from different tribes throughout the U.S. and Canada, and so CMU has to become a home away from home for these students,” Perez said. “To be together and honor them and showcase them is important.”⁠
