Earlier this year, OIDI’s social media accounts promoted a podcast by Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to be Antiracist, and an event called, “Indigenizing and Decolonizing Racial Justice.”

Northwestern’s website similarly displays a “land acknowledgement,” which reads, “The Northwestern campus sits on the traditional homelands of the people of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa.”
Likewise, the Illinois university maintains other diversity programs including Diversity Leaders Group, University Diversity Council, and Native American Leadership Council.
Campus Reform reached out to Northwestern for comment, but they have not yet responded.
