Indian Law Program

An Historic Place, with an Historic Purpose

gonzaga university campus
The Gonzaga University campus lies on the north bank of the Spokane River, a traditional gathering place for the tribes of the Inland Plateau.

Watch a video about the Indian Law Program.

To the indigenous people of the region, the North Bank of the Spokane River holds special meaning. For generations, tribal people gathered here to fish, trade, worship, and enjoy the company of friends and family.

Gonzaga University is located on the North Bank, not far from some of the most important of their fishing grounds. It's a spot replete with historical and cultural value.

As you explore this section, you will see that students in the program learn by doing. You will be challenged to do substantial and meaningful work in service to the indigenous community.
