Miami Tribe Relations
The partnership between Miami University and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is more than a relationship. Like a fire, carefully tended over time, this connection has the power to illuminate a path towards a healthy future. Spanning more than four decades, this tribally-led, university-supported relationship continues to evolve with the Tribe’s needs.
About Miami Tribe Relations
Committed to Each Other
Grounded in the values of reciprocity, mutual respect, and learning from each other, Miami Tribe Relations exists to ensure the vitality of the Tribe and university.
Together We Thrive
We’re achieving more together than we could alone. The work of the Myaamia Center is enhanced by collaboration with the university community, resulting in significant revitalization projects and more.

See how we support students
While the work of the Myaamia Center primarily serves the needs of the Miami Tribe, Miami University students benefit by learning about a contemporary Tribal Nation. Through class visits, cultural activities, and co-curricular events across campus, students are able to engage with the Myaamia community and culture, serving to bring both communities closer together.
