MSU gets an eviction notice: NAISO marches on Indigenous People’s Day for institutional awareness

“MSU, rent is due.”

These were the words shouted by members of the North American Indigenous Students Organization, or NAISO, outside of the Hannah Administration Building on Monday, Oct. 10, Indigenous People’s Day.

NAISO and other indigenous students and faculty marched to celebrate their resilience against all odds, including their university being founded on what they call a “land grab.”

On the 25th anniversary of NAISO’s sit-in at the university president’s office, the group yet again rallied their supporters. They sported signs that spelled out their passion with phrases like “Columbus, your visa expired,” “you’re on stolen land” and “colonial hands off Indigenous lands.”

This idea of being unseen in the MSU community was a recurring theme at the march, with participants wanting to be heard.

Indigenous students spent their day demanding the attention their ancestors did not receive, and protesting the type of treatment that they do receive.

“In essence, we just need more support,” co-chair of NAISO and social work senior Roxy Sprowl said. “We need people to actually listen to our voices and value our voices.”
