American Indian Studies at UMM
UMM's compelling new interdisciplinary program, American Indian Studies, welcomes students from all backgrounds and disciplines to explore the unique complexities and broad, diverse cultures associated with the label, "American Indian." Join us as we examine this rich topic through coursework in anthropology, sociology, history, literature, politics, and art. Because of its unique history, UMM is a particularly advantageous place to pursue American Indian Studies. The campus's oldest building dates back to its 19th century origin as an Indian Boarding School, a history that influences development and programming to this day. American Indian students attending UMM are not required to pay tuition; many of the resources and opportunities created by and for them now compliment the American Indian Studies program. We've been privileged to offer courses in Dakota and Ojibwe languages, funded in part through the efforts of our American Indian Advisory Committee. Enrichment programs including our annual World Touch Cultural Heritage Week have brought speakers including as Winona LaDuke, Sherman Alexie, Billy Mills, Chris Eyre, and Dennis Banks to campus. Explore the links to the left to learn more about the resources and opportunities available to students of American Indian Studies. To learn more about the UMM campus's beginnings as an Indian boarding school, check out pages 4 and 5 of the pdf file, Recollections, a publication celebrating UMM's 40th anniversary. |
