Resources

The academic discipline of NAIS has always been informed byÌýcommunityÌýknowledges and worked in partnership with NativeÌýcommunities. CNAIS seeks to emulate the best models of Native American & Indigenous StudiesÌýdisciplinary practices,Ìýwhich introduce Indigenous knowledges intoÌýacademic discourse and indigenize academicÌýmethods through their inclusion.ÌýIn this deeply interdisciplinary area, more than perhaps any other in academia, there is aÌýneed for multiple areas of faculty (and student) expertise that can be leveraged to benefitÌýrelationships between campuses and tribal entities, facilitating research and educationalÌýopportunities as well as outreach.Ìý

As such, CNAIS also partners with groups at С»ÆÊé as well as other С»ÆÊé Campuses. Additionally, we have connections in the state, nation, and internationally.ÌýIf you are looking for resources in the area of Native American and Indigenous Studies, take a look at theÌý.Ìý
