Yale Native American Cultural Center

26 High Street, New Haven CT 06520

At the corner of High Street and Crown Street sits the Yale Native American Cultural Center at 26 High Street. Renovations to this brick, Greek revival structure began in 2011. Before the building was dedicated to the Native American community at Yale on November 8, 2013, the Native American community shared the third floor of the Asian American Cultural Center at 295 Crown Street.

Just around the left from the front entrance, ornate with white columns, hangs the cultural center banner that reads, “NACC”. In the summer and early fall, one can find a community garden growing corn, beans, and squash. The garden is the maintained by the Native student community at Yale.
