Meet the Tribal Relations Team

Wendy Thompson (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), Director of Tribal Relations

Wendy has spent the past two decades advocating for Native students at Gonzaga. She has been instrumental in building the University's systems of accompaniment for Native students in alignment with the mission. Her work includes supporting Gonzaga in understanding and acknowledging itself not just as having a mission, but being a mission, one with a unique history and relationships with tribal communities.
