Blanket Wrapping Ceremony

A blanket ceremony is an Native American tradition symbolizing a milestone in one's life. Rather than simply walking across a stage and accepting a diploma, Indigenous students at the University of Denver chose to participate in this extraordinary cultural experience.

This annual event honors and welcomes new graduates into DU's Indigenous alumni community and serves as an intimate celebration for our Native and Indigenous graduating students, their families and community members.

This event is co-sponsored by Indigenous Initiatives at DU, the Native Student Alliance, the Indigenous Alumni Affinity Network and the Division of Diversity Equity and Inclusion.
