Introduction/What is the Study of American Indian Studies?

The minor in American Indian studies is designed to provide students with in-depth study of the cultures and traditions, histories, and arts of indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. The minor is recommended for students who plan to collaborate with American Indians in research, educational, environmental, creative, and political projects. The concentration is interdisciplinary and allows students to combine it with many major designations.

For more information, contact Tanis S’eiltin, coordinator of the American Indian Studies minor concentration, or Dr. Lawrence J. Estrada, director of the American Cultural Studies program.
