New Gift to Provide World-Class Home for Dickinson’s Center for the Futures of Native Peoples
Dickinson College has received a $20 million gift from Samuel G. Rose ’58 to establish a new home for the Center for the Futures of Native Peoples (CFNP).
The new Jim Thorpe Center for the Futures of Native Peoples will feature the Samuel G. Rose ’58 Art Gallery and serve as a meaningful site for Indigenous peoples and communities connected to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School (CIIS).
“Just a few miles from the former grounds of a place that sought to erase our cultures and identities, the new space will stand as a testament to our strength,”
says Amanda Cheromiah (KawaiKa-Laguna Pueblo), executive director of the CFNP and a granddaughter of six CIIS students.
