Minor Native American Studies

It’s impossible to tell the story of America without a thorough understanding of Native American history and culture. Deepen and enrich your understanding of our national heritage through the Native American Studies minor.

Students in St. Scholastica’s Native American Studies program are immersed in Native American history, tribal cultures, philosophy and modern-day developments. They will learn about Native Americans’ profound contributions to our shared social, political, economic and scientific development.

Faculty involved in this unique program not only teach, but also advise students and serve in administrative posts. St. Scholastica’s Native Studies Center has a full-time director, Native student recruitment/success specialist and Ojibwe language instructor.

Students also have the opportunity to join the Native American Student Alliance to get more involved with Native events and outreach.
