Studies emphasizes historical and contemporary socio-political experiences, perspectives and world views, predominantly in the United States with a special attentiveness to First Oregonians and the Klamath Basin region, but with a secondary focus on connecting U.S. based struggles of Native\/First Nations\/Indigenous peoples throughout the world. Students analyze federal Indian laws and policies as well as movements for sovereignty and self-determination; examine the historical formation and contemporary experiences of the nine tribes of Oregon; learn about key concepts including sovereignty (inherent, tribal, cultural, visual, and intellectual), self-determination, revitalization and humor; and engage in decolonizing, critical, and reflexive thinking and creative work while learning to speak and write clearly, concisely and meaningfully about Native peoples\u2019 experiences. While the goals of a NAS program are multifaceted, the program\u2019s goal is to pair student learning with university social justice initiatives that have the objective to build relationships with Indigenous communities and organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-mavoi1f1-17e86469067efb51a3c3419042bf6e5c-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading '><a href="https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/content.php?catoid=17&amp;navoid=2024"  class='avia-button av-mavoi1f1-17e86469067efb51a3c3419042bf6e5c av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1m5xspv-1bd9c601ec5ac5b99f80035fa342ab53\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-1bd9c601ec5ac5b99f80035fa342ab53{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-1bd9c601ec5ac5b99f80035fa342ab53 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-1bd9c601ec5ac5b99f80035fa342ab53 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1m5xspv-1bd9c601ec5ac5b99f80035fa342ab53 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1m5xspv-1bd9c601ec5ac5b99f80035fa342ab53 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt6i1z58-2fb5444a7588a97aaba9d2073d74bc8e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>Students pursuing a Minor in Native American Studies will complete 24 credits.
