It's our people who make the program
If you asked the many alumni of the American Indian Studies program, they would tell you that since its inception in the 1970's, it has been the faculty who have made this program as special as it is. Students develop deep and lasting relationships with the instructors, they return frequently to campus for events or just to visit, and they maintain bonds that last a lifetime. Perhaps because this is such a deeply personal and transformative learning process, American Indian Studies truly is a family.
Outstanding teaching and strong mentorship from American Indian Studies faculty members prepared me well for the rigors of graduate school and professional life.
