Native American Studies

About

Overview The Native American Studies curriculum from University of Oklahoma is, at the same time, focused and flexible. We currently support intensive study in three interrelated areas of emphasis that are interdisciplinary in nature. Students work closely with faculty to combine areas of emphasis according to their own scholarly and professional goals. The areas of emphasis include:Tribal Governance and PolicyIndigenous Media and ArtsLanguage, History, and Cultural KnowledgeStar Quilt as Symbol and VisionNative American quilts are a powerful example of the ways that Native peoples have taken practices of cultural dispossession (quilting in Indian boarding schools) and turned them into practices of cultural sovereignty. The star quilt, historically associated with the Sioux, has become a Pan-Indian symbol. It can be used as a gift of honor, an object of art and beauty, or a practical item of warmth and comfort. Like the star quilt referenced here, Native American Studies at OU will be pieced together by many hands; will be used by many for many purposes; will be vibrant, diverse, and complex; and will be symbolic of cultural tradition, cultural change, and cultural sovereignty.Undergraduate ProgramThe undergraduate major and minor in Native American Studies uses distinctly Native American perspectives to place the sovereignty of Native nations and the cultures of Native peoples at the center of academic study. In addition to core classes in Indigenous theory and research methods, the Native American Studies curriculum currently supports intensive study in three interrelated areas of emphasis that are synthetic and interdisciplinary in nature: Tribal Governance and Policy; Indigenous Media and Arts; and Language, History, and Cultural Knowledges. The curriculum is, at the same time, focused and flexible. Students are encouraged to combine areas of emphasis according to their own scholarly and professional goals.NAS alumni have distinguished themselves in a wide range of careers some of which include: tribal government, law, health policy, filmmaking and media, historic preservation, language revitalization, an education.
