Reedley College is deeply committed to honoring the land of the indigenous people within our region. We recognize and respect the rich histories and cultures of the Native American tribes who have called this area home for generations. Our college plays a crucial role in raising awareness of Native American culture and histories, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for Native American students to succeed.

In our ongoing efforts to honor the indigenous heritage of our region, we are working to build a monument in tribute to the local tribes. We encourage our community to join us in this endeavor by donating to support the creation of this monument. Your contributions will help us recognize and preserve the legacy of the indigenous people who have shaped our community.

Together, we can honor the past and build a future that respects and celebrates the diverse cultures that enrich our college and community.

Please consider donating towards the building of Choinumni Monument at Reedley College.
