Who We Are

Decolonize Clemson (formerly Indigenizing Clemson) is a committee that was established in 2018 with the purpose of developing a basis for how Clemson connects with and recognizes local Indigenous communities, land, labor, and history. This committee consists of students, faculty, and staff across Clemson’s campus who work collaboratively to advance indigeneity through the curriculum, co-curricular engagement, and community development.

We envision this work as a starting place to forge strategic and reciprocal relationships with local, regional, and national Indigenous communities and work toward decolonization.
