(Lawrence, KS) Haskell Indian Nations University mens
and womens basketball teams will partner with Nike N7 this
month to celebrate Native American Heritage month. Among the colleges
selected, Haskell was the only tribal college among the other universities
from the NCAA.
Nike N7 is proud to partner with these eight colleges to honor
Native American Heritage Month. During selected men and womens
basketball games throughout November and into December, Nevada,
Oklahoma State, Florida State, San Diego State, Gonzaga, New Mexico,
Stanford and Haskell Indian Nations University (the only all-native
school in the country) will each wear N7-inspired turquoise uniforms.

of sport on Native lands and driving awareness of Native American
culture. The collection includes men and womens basketball
