This page contains different types of student research on various topics in Indigenous Studies. The students whose research is presented here have established a foundation of critical, normative, and empirical knowledge that has developed their understanding of Indigenous Peoples, Nations, and communities. The work shown here was created through Indigenous studies coursework, as well as self-led research projects within the Institute’s laboratories. It is our hope that the work presented here may help others develop a greater understanding of issues affecting Indigenous Peoples so that all peoples can begin to move forward together in a good way.

Please note that all of the research contained on this page was completed entirely by undergraduate students. It has not been peer-reviewed and is not intended to constitute a full representation of the issues or topics discussed.
