They will learn to appreciate how the value systems of different cultures function and to understand the dynamics of cultural change. They will examine contact and conflict between Native and non-Native societies and will appreciate the unique status of Indian peoples in the United States and Canada.

Indeed, the mission of the Native American Studies program depends upon attracting a varied student body that bring their own perspectives and build upon their individual experiences and understandings.
