Dear First_Name,

Native Americans lost many, many things after European contact, including what they originally called themselves. This map is an attempt to correct that injustice. Aaron Carapella spent countless thousands of hours pouring through books, investigating in library archive buildings, making phone calls and traveling to remote reservations in the spirit of creating the most thorough map of Native America in existence.
It shows 584 North American tribes and roughly where they were located (since most tribes were nomadic, and there weren't any boundaries to speak of, Carapella has placed the name of the tribe over the area where its people originally lived before being displaced by European settlers). On his map, he varies the size of the typeface to show the amount of land and population size of each tribe at the time. The map also shows historical images of Natives and their dwellings.
You can see this map in the Native American/ Indigenous Room in Eldred, or purchase one for yourself here.

OMA’s Flavorites of the Week

by Steve Furlow
The weather is changing, you need a soup for the soul, head to 31st & Superior within The Historic AsiaTown to try #1 Phở (F UH) -- and no it is not pronounced (F OH).

This quaint little space has really fire dishes, and the sides are worth the trip, but the All Day - Phở (Vietnamese Noodle Soups) are delicious! You can always add proteins or opt for just veggies; love seafood? They have squid that might fill your belly. It's one of my favorite places to eat, so try it before your winter retreat. The quality, price and quantity, honestly cannot be beat!

That is this week’s Flavorite, so savor it, and be sure to DM OMA on IG if there is a food nearby that I should try. I plan to chew and review it, because I cannot wait to share all the treats that I come across while eating my way through these one of kind Cleveland Streets!

Interested in Experiential Education but lack the $$$ ?

The Dream fund connects students who dream of studying abroad, going to an academic conference, or doing research to the funds necessary to accomplish their vision! Dream Fund applications open next January - keep reading the OMA Newsletter for more information.
But don't just take our word for it!
"I have never traveled outside of the United States before, in large part due to the financial inability to do so. An award from the Dream Fund helped me to fully actualize this goal of mine, as well as directly contributed to my academic success".

Did You Know?

According to a recent campus survey:

31.56% of CWRU students were food insecure
3% were homeless

CWRU Community Pantry & on-campus Mobile Food Pantry Fall '24

served 2,410 people
40,617 meals

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (Nov 17-23) is a time for us to deepen our understanding of hunger and homelessness here at CWRU. It is also a time to provide information on support resources here at the University. The goals are to grow the conversation, reduce stigma and barriers to support, and hear from you on how CWRU can better support.

To ensure students have what they need what they need, the Dean of Students Office has developed comprehensive Basic Needs Resource lists covering a variety of needs including:

child care & parenting
clothing & laundry
financial stability
furniture & household items
hygiene & cleaning
legal assistance
health insurance
nutritious food
pets & emotional support animals
pregnancy & parenting
secure housing
SNAP
tax preparation & filing assistance
transportation
utilities

Questions or would like support in navigating these resources? Email us Dean of Students
.
