The Program
Students must be in good standing in a university major to enroll. A minimum of six courses (18 credits) is required for the Certificate. Students develop individualized programs, which must be previously approved by the director. The requirements are intended to provide a broad introduction to the histories and contemporary issues affecting First Nations peoples of the Americas, particularly Indians of the Greater Northeast; to lead to an understanding of the interrelationships of sovereignty issues; and to expose students to the rich cultural heritage of Native American literature, orality, and other expressive forms. Students completing the program will be expected to have a basic understanding of discrete Native American traditions as well as the larger similarities shared by these various communities.
