Learning Abroad

American Indian Studies is dedicated to advancing an awareness and understanding of the histories, cultures, arts, languages, literatures, philosophies, religions, economies, politics, and legal status of the native peoples of the US and Canada, but also draws on the experiences of indigenous peoples from other parts of the world. Given the diverse nature of these majors, many options are open to you. While some of our students visit and study global indigenous communities in Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America, we also encourage out students to take part in the National Student Exchange to engage with our American Indian communities as well. Learning abroad can help compare, contrast, and make connections between indigenous peoples in a domestic, or global setting.
