 Return to: Programs in the College of Liberal Arts
The Indigenous Studies minor is focused on cultures, knowledges, histories, and experiences of Indigenous peoples in the Americas and across the globe. The minor is offered through the Department of Gender, Race and Identity in the College of Liberal Arts. Students will employ a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including Indigenous methods, to understand the rights of Indigenous peoples, their languages, cultures, and socio-political systems. Students also will examine forces that create, shape, and regulate identity, and thus influence both Indigenous experiences and perceptions of those experiences.
