Institute for American Indian Studies

Learning for All

We offer educational programs and resources for everyone to explore the history, languages, and traditions of Native American tribes. We also champion educational opportunities for students of Native American descent.

Respectful Research

The IAIS supports research that works closely with tribal communities and honors their traditions. We encourage research that uses Indigenous perspectives, leading to a deeper understanding of their experiences.

A Center for Collaboration

The IAIS acts as a central hub within the university for all things related to Native American cultures. We hold annual meetings to connect everyone working on Indigenous issues, ensuring a respectful approach that values tribal customs.
