Our Programs
The core mandate of American Indian Studies is to provide education to students in the unique histories, cultures, politics, and social conditions of the Native American and Indigenous peoples in territories now claimed and occupied by the United States.
To fulfill this mandate, its program is interdisciplinary, comparative, and international in scope. Students are provided a curriculum that balances academic rigor, creative expression, and direct community engagement.
