The academic discipline of NAIS has always been informed by听community听knowledges and worked in partnership with Native听communities. CNAIS seeks to emulate the best models of Native American & Indigenous Studies听disciplinary practices,听which introduce Indigenous knowledges into听academic discourse and indigenize academic听methods through their inclusion.听In this deeply interdisciplinary area, more than perhaps any other in academia, there is a听need for multiple areas of faculty (and student) expertise that can be leveraged to benefit听relationships between campuses and tribal entities, facilitating research and educational听opportunities as well as outreach.听
As such, CNAIS also partners with groups at CU as well as other CU Campuses. Additionally, we have connections in the state, nation, and internationally.听If you are looking for resources in the area of Native American and Indigenous Studies, take a look at the听.听
If you or your organization would like to听connect with CNAIS, let us know!
