Haskell Indian Nations University, founded in 1884 as the United States Indian Industrial Training School, stands as the oldest continually operating federal school for American Indians. Nestled in Lawrence, Kansas, the campus is a hub for Indigenous culture, education, and sovereignty. While not a touring musical act itself, Haskell features a vibrant roster of Indigenous artists, performers, and cultural programs that highlight traditional and contemporary Indigenous arts. The university hosts major public events that welcome attendees from across the region and the country, including markets, pow wows, and benefit gatherings. This page profiles Haskell’s role as a performer hub—showcasing notable bios, cultural contributions, and upcoming events that celebrate Indigenous artistry. Look for opportunities to secure seats or make donations for ticketed performances and market days on campus.
