SENAI

“Honoring Our Roots: Building Our Future”

The 14th Annual Striking Eagle Native American Invitational (SENAI) is sponsored by the University of New Mexico Society of Native American Graduate and Undergraduate Students (SNAGUS), College of Education and Human Sciences, and the SENAI Circle. 

The Striking Eagle Native American Invitational (SENAI) includes an annual essay contest and Art/Poster contest for middle and high school students, encouraging them to write about their Native American experiences, culture, and community challenges, with winners receiving prizes like laptops, and is connected to a larger basketball tournament and education fair at the University of New Mexico (UNM). The contest promotes post-secondary education and cultural empowerment, with deadlines typically in December, preceding the tournament in late December or early January.
