The Kaku-Ixt Mana Ina Haws (previously called the Native American Longhouse Eena Haws) represents the indigenous people of the Americas and Pacific Islands. The Ina Haws was created out of collective activist efforts of the Native students and the Black Student Union at OSU during the late 1960s. In 1971, the Ina Haws was established and became the first cultural resource center at OSU. It was also the first Native American center on a college campus in Oregon. Starting in 1973, it was housed in a World War II Quonset hut located just north of the current building.

The new facility opened in 2013 when the Ina Haws officially added “Eena Haws” to its name, which means “beaver house” in Chinuk Wawa. The name Kaku-Ixt Mana Ina Haws is a combination of chinuk wawa/jargon and Polynesian languages: Kaku-Ixt means “unified” in chinuk wawa/jargon; Mana means “internal power/strength” in several Polynesian languages; and Ina Haws means “beaver house” in chinuk wawa/jargon. This was the first of four OSU cultural resource centers to construct new buildings custom-designed for each group. The initiative got off the ground with a gift from the late Portland philanthropist Joyce Collin Furman, ’65.
