MISSION

American Indian Studies seeks to develop a strong understanding of the languages, cultures, and sovereignty of American Indians/Alaska Natives, which honors our ancestors and their wisdom.

American Indian Studies maintains productive scholarship, teaching, research, and community development; and provides unique opportunities for students and scholars to explore issues from American Indian perspectives which place the land, its history and the people at the center.

American Indian Studies promotes Indian self-determination, self-governance, and strong leadership as defined by Indian nations, tribes, and communities, all of which originated from the enduring beliefs and philosophies of our ancestors.

VISION

The American Indian Studies Program promotes an enhanced interdisciplinary understanding of sovereign and distinct American Indian/Alaska Native peoples. We honor Native knowledge with integrity, respect, and collaboration.
