Native American and Indigenous Studies

Native American and Indigenous Studies is an academic field that explores the histories, cultures, languages, and contemporary experiences of Indigenous peoples in North America and beyond. It aims to honor Indigenous perspectives, address historical injustices, and promote understanding and reconciliation. The field incorporates interdisciplinary approaches, including history, anthropology, art, and political science, to deepen knowledge about Indigenous communities' diverse identities and contributions. Ultimately, it seeks to empower Indigenous voices, challenge stereotypes, and foster respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
