Native American and Indigenous Studies

Jacki Rand (Emerita) and Phillip Round worked on the team that produced Indigenous Mississippi http://indigenousmississippi.com/ Indigenous Mississippi is a digital archive of the work created by an interdisciplinary, multi-university, multi-year research project on Indigenous art and activism about the Mississippi River. Over the course of several years, professors, grad students, artists, and activists collaborated to tell stories that follow the flow of the Mississippi River in order to study how Indigenous peoples confront life and make art in the midst of changing climates.

Join us March 22, 2022 for a presentation by Meskwaki Language Preservation Director Wayne Pushetonequa.

We are planning to tie in our 50th Anniversary Celebration with our 15th Annual Latinx In Action Celebration Week (newly named, LNACC in Action Week) which will take place the week of March 27 - April 2. The day of 50th Anniversary Celebration will be Friday April 1, 2022. The Native American Student Association (NASA) is planning for the 26th Annual Powwow to take place on Saturday, April 2, 2022. It'd be a great opportunity for alumni to stay in town, support this long-lasting tradition, and be in space.
